I've played seriously for about a year. I'm a 1300-1400 on ICC. I need to improve all facets of my game, opening, mid game, ending, you name it.
Whats the best path of study. Also I find GM games pretty intresting but should studying famous games be last on my chess to do list?

I got a thread in the chess forum called, Need help getting to 1400?. It's on page 1 right now half way down.
Page 2 of that thread might help you, depending on how good you are.
