Have you considered doing long-time-control online games?

Would a 1500 player lose very close to 100% of the time against a 2700 player?

In order to even start toward your objective, you must be objective about your current skills. Given that you were getting blow off the board by (online) 1400s as recently as March of this year, it would be highly unusual to improve by over 500 points of strength in the span of 2 months. The first step towards your stated goal is to obtain an official OTB rating.

since i have memory i have never be 1400 i think

You already forgot your 2nd and 3rd games back from an almost 5 year break?

 




really? i was white i totally outplayed him and lose on time, even i has some blunder at the end because time trouble i was winning anyway and lose on time

how much i have to train to reach 2300 elo? should i focus on tactics, strategy, openings or endgames? how many hours a day? should be nice if a fide master say his experience

The newest FM in my club got the title after between 1000 and 1100 Longchess rated games otb. I think he has been active in chess more than 8  years. He is 15 years old, and have been taking GM-lessons. His father is a good cluplayer.

As far as I can tell, there is no generally accepted answer to this sort of question.

"... This book is the first volume in a series of manuals designed for players who are building the foundations of their chess knowledge. The reader will receive the necessary basic knowledge in six areas of the game - tactcs, positional play, strategy, the calculation of variations, the opening and the endgame. ... To make the book entertaining and varied, I have mixed up these different areas, ..." - GM Artur Yusupov

If you missed it, you might want to take a look at my post about 8 hours ago.

thanks for the advice! i will try to get the books!

In my opinion you have decent power, but longchess otb is like the Formula 1 in chess. The quality of the games are a lot higher than in blitz. Anyway, your blitzrating tell me that you have talent. It will be fun to see how much you can win if you play many longchess tournaments otb.

I wasn't trying to advocate any particular book. I was attempting to give some indication of the variety of attitudes towards chess study. Still, I suppose that a book might be helpful.

Several hours a day, for 5 days a week, for several years.

 All of the above.

occz wrote:

I'd say at least two hours of productive study a day. Three hours a day would be even better.

If you truly want to be FM, the most efficient path is to take lessons from a titled master.

I belive he said "first category player"--whatever that meant. Not neccesarily master.

Andrew Tang has played in 286 USCF rated events, most of them weren't Blitz tournaments. He has also been coached by IM John Bartholomew. So You can't say that he became a GM just by playing bullet online. Also, Andrew Tang is probably not your ordinary chess player

You do realize I was being sarcastic?

Then expect your growth to be slow.  If youre so easily "addicted" to things that you cant stop playing bullet/blitz for the sake of your wanted chess growth?  How do you expect to reach your goal?

Witout a doubt some of the worst advice to give someone that is trying to improve.  If you are already an established titled player, then speed chess is fine.  But...if youre trying to improve, and reach a title?  Then playing bullet/blitz is the wrong advice to give.
