Comments.Text: Yes, 400 points in 2 years is do-able. I don't think it will take 15 hours a day. Find a local chess club. Get an instructor. Make sure your practice time is focused.

  To predict someone's progress is very difficult. It depends on so many things: "chess talent", how you practice and train, opportunities to play tournaments (not too weak, not too strong), etc...

  **Yes, it is possible.**

  Here's [a great article on chess progress](http://www.convekta.com/softscho/l1/lesson_3.html). The higher your rating, the more difficult it is to progress.
