Take an average 1500 OTB player, with average chess talent, IQ more then average (if this correlates at all with chess abilities), give him good tactical puzzle books and very good strategy book like Silman Amateurs mind . He solves at least 15 tactics daily, plays two OTB games daily and reads strategy book 30 minutes all that EVERY they. How far could he go in a year?

Cmon, guys, isn't that a bit too much of sarcasm?
Dumb looking question I know, but I am interested in your opinion if you have any!
Is that because of my provisional player status? I see often provisional players with silly questions, but I am not that bad 😛
P. S. I do not have multi account, I wrote it on forum while my friend was loged. We have 5 accounts on same IP adress !

Your question is too open and variable to get any useful answer. e.g. I could play two games everyday and put no effort into them.
Also, players need to analyse their games and address their weaknesses. Your proposal may hit or miss such weaknesses.
Finally, don't worry about how far training may get you, just worry about doing it and seeing where you go. GM Motylev said he likes to follow "do what must; come what may" (or similar).
