With all due respect, I think you're wrong. I know plenty of players rated
between 2350 and 2450 who have tried (and try) VERY HARD to become 2500 players
and not succeeded. I cannot comment on the methodology, but I can assure you
that failure hasn't been due to a lack of trying. These are players who also
make a living off of chess BTW, though mostly through classes, etc.
