Schedule
GOAL: To have a 1600 rating (standard) by 12/31/07
ISSUES: I think that ICC is the next best thing to playing a face-to-face game. But I know that I need to enroll in the USCF and start playing every weekend.
The USCF FAQ's have a lot of useful info on playing rated games.
One thing to note is the ratings. Once I play 20 games I am no longer provisional. Chaning my rating will be much more difficult, after a game my rating can change between -40 to +40 points.
DAILY SCHEDULE (11/29 - 12/13):
