Maurice Ashley????!!!! seriously!!!!??

Hello Steve this is The Cosmic Moor  if you know Jamal from Brooklyn  with the OxfordGambit Club.  Good to see u up here using this sight as a way to recruit, chess on the net is the way to go now and for the future. 

All u Guys wanting instruction this guy is worth the price. I have received lessons from him first hand especially on endings and famous games, I have played him in blitz games, I have seen him demolish masters in the NYC area and take their lunch money.I have sat in and watched his successful methodoogies on teaching chess to children I gathered much in my learning on  how to teach.

His teaching is clear, concise and full of ideas If want to improve  quickly especially by learning key endings,  this is your man  dont worry about GM or IM titles its really about presentation and communication skills and  teaching experience not too many better from N.Y.C than Steve Colding.

You taught Maurice Ashley?

I am impressed that you took down the random name you put up, (why be coached by GM Rachmanivillicoff).  Kudos to you.

Ok.

Hi Steve, why so much more for in-person lessons?  Are you talking per hour?  How much would you charge to analyze some of my games, say 30 or 40 of them?  Fritz's analysis just doesn't do it for me.  By the way, what's your rating?  Thanks!

 I would like to improve every part of my game. Thanks

Steve,  How long is a e mail lesson?  Pay by debit card ?

To webb30, I charge $20 for email lessons, $25/hr for telephone lessons and $75 for in person lessons. Steve

I would like to know how much you charge for lessons.

Ah is your service free even though i doubt it doesnt hurt to try i guess

Just found your personal page.  My name is Tom.  I primarily play on gameknot and have a rating of 1530.  I've been playing chess for about a year now and seem to have hit a wall in the 1500 rating range.  I'm currently doing "Rapid Chess Improvement" and am going through the CT-ART 3.o program.  I'm extremely tactical by nature.  I would like to know how much your rates are.  I would have to study by email.  Thanks for your time.

Of course I can help you thats why I am here! lol

hey can you help me.  I know Maurice Ashley, Iv'e also Met Emory TAte as well
