About Me:

Dear Chess.com Members --

I am not currently taking on any new students, and I am recommending that chess players interseted in private instruction from me, consider one of the following great chess coaches -- all of whom have either personally influenced my career (aka former teachers of mine) or are good friends. Players still wanting coaching from me can email Info@AmericanChess.net with the subject line "Waiting List" though there is no time frame set on when I expect to open the doors to new students...

Thanks for understanding and good luck!

yo dan dawg,

there is an error on this page. right away you state, "I am not currently taking on any new students." while at the bottom of the page it clearly says "Daniel is available for both "over the board" and "online" Private Chess Lessons." Slight mixup here, thought I'd let you know. keep doin your thing =D

When you do, Hit me up and let me know what's up... I believe you... I would like to learn a thing or two.... I have a tendancey to make minor errors... i would like how to match combinations and tactics... If you ever are free hit me up... I'm a quick learner... I dig your style ( plotonically) and think that you will help my learning curve... This game is fun and exciting... There are not many members here signed up for chess day in Sacramento... Surprise, I'm not in Israel...

 

Well, brosky... Holla at your boy and let me know what's up sometime..

 

Word up,

D. H.

Hey homie ;) -- it's me (the real me)... Anyway, I appreciate the compliments, but it won't really matter as to whether or not you believe it's me because I am not currently taking on any new students Cry... Sorry!

Ok, Your cool and all, but how do we know it's you. Is there an audio communication that on may know it's you? I like your personality and think you are about the Hippist chess player out there at the high level, if there is such a thing and it's not an oxymoron. Could you respond as far as how it functions to improve my chess game and how games are monitored to give feed back.

 

your homie,

Afromations...

Yeah it sure was! Also I had a question, do you think the Dutch Defense Stonewall Variation is okay for playing against 1800+ rated players. And can you give me some advice about any good aggresive variations. Since I am an attacking player.

Thanks!

Ben

I'm still interested.  I worked with IM Bartholomew for a while, but I believe you have more experience with teaching.  I'm interested in starting during the new year.  Do you have an email or a faster way to contact you?
