Hello Mr. Murray,

I hope this finds you in good health. My name is Alan Mac Réamoinn, I'm 37yrs old & I live in Tallaght. I'm a former Dublin Schools Draughts (Checkers) Champion (many ''moons'' ago) & 'was always a fan of Chess. I learnt the basics from an Uncle of mine (since deceased) back in my teens (an exceptional player, I'm told in his day) & our local Community Centre at the time had a Chess Club, but sadly through lack of funding/intrest the Club folded. A good friend of mine a Priest of the Franciscan Order here in Dublin, represented Synge St. CBS in the All-Ireland Schools Chess Championships, back in the mid-1980's & is still a solid player today. My hunger to learn the game propper, to the extent where I can give a player say, at Intermediate level a good game is my wish. Sadly, no 1 in my Immediate family can play Chess & like yourself, I too, only recently discovered Chess.com, through which I found you.

Life/other intrests in general, you could say prevented me from seeking coaching before now, but since the Company I worked for lost 6 Contracts this year thus having to let go 250 employees, including yours truely, I can put the spare time I have (& keep the brain alive) while seeking new employment, to good use.

Foreward me your details, (what you charge for tuition, times of your classes etc...) & hopefully we can come to an amacable/satisfactory arrangement

Take Care & Look forward to hearing from you,

Is Mise Le Meas,

Alan Mac Reamoinn
