My Study Plan

Ok so I came up with a study plan of the first twenty five things I want to study. I use software more than books but one day that may change. I have already gone through CT ART 3 times in the past and I am presently working on the fourth. I am not strictly sticking to the De La Maza plan although I will in fact complete seven cycles of CT Art when all is said and done (I just wont be doing them consecutively). I started playing chess two years ago. I am 19. I am currently rated around 1840 blitz on the Playchess.com server (my username is Gregsw if you want to play) if that is a indicator of strength. My goal is to be 2300 in less than two years.

1. CT ARt
2. 1000x Checkmate and Check and mate together
3. Intensive Course Tactics II
4. Basic Principles of Chess Strategy Software I-III
5. CT ART
6. Killer Moves
7. Squares Strategy I
8. Tactics for Advanced Students
9. ABC of chess openings, middlegames, and endgames (this one is probably going to be to easy)
10. Deadly threats

I have 15 more set aside but this is the first ten.

EDIT: Im going to put my starting rating at 1750 blitz. In truth I am over 1800 but this is mainly due to my skill with the clock and I feel like my actual strength would probably be around here. So my starting point is officially 1750.
