I think there can be a "plateau". I have experienced that and have taken breaks, then returned to futher improve, however, there may be a point (I might be at it, I hope not) where I no longer can improve. :) 2. The peter principal. Can I reach my level of incompetence sooner? Yes, I agree that computer chess may also help me get there (or I may already be there). I play 30' games mostly, this may be inhibiting me if I ever play 40/2 tournaments again. :) Just my thoughts. Best Regards, Chris Carson
