I do not say that everybody can get the 2500 goal.

The point is that I believe that most of the 2350 players got that rating
inspite of the fact that they did not learn in the right way and never decided
to work for one year at least some hours every day on chess.

I suspect that part of the time that they devote for chess is used for playing
blitz and I believe that this is not a good way to train and there are players
who play often blitz without progress.
