I believe that it is not constant of 1 rating point increase per four hours
spent training chess and there is diminishing returns.

I believe that 400 elo improvement in 400 days for someone who use 4 hours per
day in training on tactcis is passimistic assumption for 1300 players.

I believe that most 1300 players can get more than 1700 in 400 days if they
train 4 hours per day when the training is mainly on tactics.

I also expect them to get more than 200 elo rating improvement in the level of
play in the first month that mean that their performance will be more than 1500
30 days after they start training.
