I'll play unrated training games here for low budget (free) discussion of strategy and tactics. In the Spokane area, I give private lessons for a fee--contact me through email. Most of my teaching/coaching experience is with youth. Over the past eight years, I have coached many of the area's top youth players, including three high school individual champions.

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).

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?
