Hello, I am pretty serious about chess and would like a coach. I would like to do a weekly skype lesson or if you live in the Oklahoma city area perhaps we could get together.
There is so much information out there and quite honestly it is a bit overwhelming. I am a good student and will study diligently (2+ hours daily).
I need a coach who is easy to understand and has patience will less expierenced players. I do not mind criticisim but I also wouldn't mind a little reinforcment either.
I am an older player (38) and have only been playing for a couple of years. I'm not trying to be a GM by any stretch but I sure wouldn't mind a rating between 1700-1800.
Thank you for your time.
I am afraid that you are just going to generate a storm of feeble humor with your thread. I hope I am wrong. It may help if you let out a little more about your chess experience. You have only been a chess.com member for less than a month. Do you have previous experience elsewhere? (Maybe you have played in over the board tournaments at some point in the past.)
When you say you want to achieve a rating between 1700 and 1800, which rating do you mean? One here on chess.com? A USCF over the board rating? How did you decide that such a rating would be a reasonable goal?
Have you tried any over the board clubs or tournaments? I would imagine that even Oklahoma City has occasional tournaments.
