I think that this thread is like weight loss programs.

Certainly losing x number of pounds is possible.

For example going to the pub for a few pints could lose you a few pounds.😀

Walking 3 miles a day for 2 years might also work ...that`s maybe 1 hour a day more or less but not just for 2 ...[text shortened]... tudy tactics for 1 hour a day for like 2 years I would predict gigantic increase in your rating.
a good hour per day for even six months would yield great improvement. of course it has to be a quality hour. Actually, even a good 15 minutes of tactics per day for six months would yield significant improvement; like going through reinfeld's 1001 combinations.

I meant FIDE or national ratings indeed, reaching 2400 on RHP, hmm, well, difficult without some dedication I'd say

Hey what's your problem? Do you want to take this outside?

They've been playing blindfold chess since they were in the womb. That gives an additional 9 months of training distraction free!
