try to become an A-class player. going to try to do tactics until Im blue in the face, and then do some more. decided to change my opening repertoire yesterday.. tough decision as I know my current one is 100% good, its just the growth isnt there with it.
hoping to read a lot of chess books and maybe do 2 tournaments or so when my 3d chess stamina improves

How often do we get in positions and think, my goodness how did i get here? what is more, how do i deal with this position? what are the elements that are evading me seeing this position clearly? thus the more chess i have played the more i have realised that i actually know very little.
On Dec 2007 you were 1309.298 points gained in 2 years isn't bad at all!
