Really, better to stop posting questions of exactly the same ilk. Study, and just go and play. Play chess. He probably didn't like the answers he got before, especially regarding the correct way to use engines. I guess by posting the same question again, he is hoping for different answers, seemingly oblivious of Einstein's definition of insanity. Rating depreciates over time, so I guesstimate 2300 divided by 10 years of inactivity = 2000 elo.

I coach chess for a living, and I save about $750 a month. I have no expenses. The truth is I am 36, and will be 40 in 4 years. I wanted to see if I could be GM by 40 or 45. The only thing from keeping me from getting the title is the preparation I still have to do, and unfortunately money. Money from the point of view that it takes cash to make it to events and play in the 7 day events for 9 rounds. Apart from all this, this post is about improvement. In other words, how do I improve? I was wondering if people here had any good suggestions. I will be honest, I have ideas of what I am suppose to be doing but I was looking for some eye openers from the chesspublishing.com world/forum crew. No expenses? Don't you eat, buy clothes, pay utility bills etc.?

	I am giving lessons right now to save up to go to tournaments. I have saved up 5k. I need like 30k to be able to play. I am pretty sure I will have a new title after my next round of tournaments. Yes that is me, 2007 was my best year chess. I started working and abandoned chess for a while, tournament wise that is. I am posting this to see what type of feedback I can get. I benefit from it because sometimes people have suggestions that are worth my time.

	Didn't you post this before? A little bluntly, rather than just posting questions here, have you played any chess or booked to play in any opens or APAs since the last time this came up? Is this you, perchance? https://ratings.fide.com/profile/2028611/calculations It appears that there has been no chess at all for over a decade. Rec: Play chess. Really, go play some chess. You ill be rusty to start with, and you may well lose a bundle of rating points. But it will come back. Good luck to you.
