Hello. I'm interested in having a practice game with you. I would greatly appreciate playing someone of such a high level. If you would be willing to play a unrated game with me I...well as I said, I would appreciate it.

I beleave I play best as white. I would normaly  use the Ponziani opening.

Anyway, I would love to play someone of your rank and I appreciate the fact that you were willing to take the time to read through my request. Thank you.

If you want to estimate how good I am. Below is one of my better games. This is the first time I used the Ponziani. Also it's the first time I've ever won against this player.(5losses.)

Hello Ziryab, I would love to play you an unrated game for coaching. I would appreciate that very much! By the way is the chess ziryab the same as the oud playing Ziryab who was accredited for adding the 6th string to that instrument as well as other contributions to oud music?

GM_jothi,

I am not equipped to charge for lessons dlivered via the internet, although I'll play unrated training games on this site for free.

I can recommend some good chess instructors in the Seattle area. I took lessons a few years ago from Curt Collyer, and they were helpful. It was shortly after a summer of lessons that I first made the jump from USCF C class to B class. If not Curt, someone else from Chess4Life might suit your needs (see the link at Curt's name).
