Yes, it’s a great beginning. I would add that you absolutely need to play otb in addition to all of that. This plan should get you to 2000 FIDE in the next 2 - 4 years. For further improvement you’ll need to do much more than that

Also, how old are you and how much time are you willing to spend on that every day?

I am 16 years old and I started to play chess 8 months ago and these days I have summer vacation and for this i play like 2 hours and a half then in September when i will go school i willl play most likely average 1 hour to play/study chess a day.
I know I should have started playing first, but that’s not a problem because I think if you want to have something you have to conquer it and give my best to do it because nothing is impossible.
By the way my account is Faiqullah this I use it to have a review of the game to analyze it.

1h per day will not be enough. Aim for 3 every day. School doesn't take away this much time
this is my plan. I attempt to study chess one hour every evening. I split the subject matter into three general categories. one evening, I study openings that I normally play for white and black. the second evening, I study middle game ideas. tactics, pawns, positional ideas, complete annotated games. the third evening, i study end games. then I rotate. this way I feel like I am improving in all three stages of the game in a shorter time frame.
Hi I wanted to ask is this program good to become GM?
