Here's the general gist. For those of you who are interested, I was thinking about suggesting a "mentor chain." Every player can volunteer to be a mentor or teacher who teaches lower ranked people some stratagies in games. They can also volunteer to be taught by someone. Since some people are so concerned about ratings, we can make it non-rated games. I understand if you don't want to participate but it sounds fun enough. I volunteer my services to anyone who's interested and would love some stratagey input from higher level players. My current rating is 1624 (chess.com).
