revisiting a 300+ point goal

A resolution of mine at the start of the year was to jump 300 points on my rating and sit solidly at the 1400 point rating that I want by the end of the year. Having a dratic start, not to mention quiting a tournament did not help at all. And through all this I even lost about 20 points. So that effective puts me at 1065 +/-

So from here on out, this is the plan I am hoping to stick to:

1. Play a lot of blitz. It'll show me what does and does not work.
2. Stick with three opening: one for White and two for Black. Fortunately for me I already have the opening which are the Torre Attack, Caro-Kann and Dutch defences.
3. Study these openings as best I can.
4. Spend time learning tactics and positional stuff. Along with endgame studies.
5. When playing in a tournament take your time. Don't play to fast.
6. Pay attention to the board. It always changes from move to move.
7. Play some more correspondence chess. It'll help on the positional stuff.
8. And although this list may grow... to remember - Always have FUN!!!

There is a lot of reading material that I have to get too also. And I think outside of the opening books I have, I'm going to hit Silman's "Reassess Your Chess - Workbook" hard. And also to brush up on Nimzowitsch's book as well.

Hoping that helps everyone who is in the same boat as myself.
