What is your OTB rating ? Because I don't think being coached by a nobody using Fritz has any value.

Just saying...

I also would like free coaching as I give free coaching but definitely not at you play level. How do you go about it? I would like to play a game with you where both of us comment on the moves. I will post my comment before I make a move and you then can tell me what you think and why. Forget chess engines analysis unless you take me say 2 to 3 moves ahead max.

When I coach I try to explain where the advantages are on the board, the deficiencies and the possible plan ahead naturally based on my limited understanding though I have been playing for quite a few years like 50+.

So I really would like to play a game with a much stronger player. I want to learn and at my level do not want to pussyfoot but get the real deal. As a sample question when playing The Ruy Lopez 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 why does White play next 3.Bc4? I never play this move as I cannot see why or what advantages there are.
So is this a good move and if so what are the advantages over playing
3.Bb5 attacking the Black Knight in c6 or 3.Nc3 preventing Black to move the pawn to d5 and take partial control of the center or just playing 3.d4?

Awaiting anxiously your promising response.

Have a great day!

3.Bc4 is italian game.

if you want to play more safe than RuyLopez you can play it (RuyLopez involves huge knowledge, if you know it less than your opponent - you will have lower win percentage)

You can play symmetric - which is common in blitz of club level strength.

Alternatively you can play gambits from there - in blitz those gamits can be used as Time_consuming_weapon to black.

such as after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5  i play 4.d4 (Italian Gambit) if exd4 5. Bxf7+

Thank you for your help but you did not address at all my question, you gave me openings that I amvery familiar with. My question was specifically what are the advantages of playing this line and not a list of openings. What is the long term advantage or disadvantage

.

kiloNewton

you can say that a personal choice. i myself rarely play 3.Bb5

but as black most of the time i get that from opponents.

if your opening repertoire is less common lines it gives you better score.

Hello again everyone. First of all I find it really rude that member hietnunc accused me of cheating. How is the english word for that? Defamation I think. You can look at all of my games, I never played perfectly and never used any kind of engine assistance. As you have seen I havent played many games here so I am underrated. My fide rating is at the moment very close to 2300 and I hope to reach that soon. And for the coaching, cool that I got so many requests. How will it work? Well there are many things a good coach should do. For me this is a) games analysis b) help with the personal opening repertoire c) tournament preparation and general chess improvement training(tactics-strategy; endgames etc.) . The games can be analysed by me with a message or here in the forums. The other option is to analyse them on an analysis board in live chess(here on chess.com). The analysis board is a great tool which I would like to use very often. I will use it to show you opening lines, to set up tactic exercises for you or to go through specific games. Of course I am also up for some friendly games with live comments, 10 minute games prefered. That are the main things for the coaching. And now to your question about the line with 3.Bc4, the so called Italian Game. Its very often seen on the amateur level because of its historical background as one of the most attacking and romantic openings. There are many very nice games played with it. Nowadays the move 3.Bb5 is much more popular on the higher levels, especially the so called Berlin Wall. What are the advantages of Bc4. Well, first of all it aims immediatly at the weakest point in the black camp, the f7 square. It also develops the bishop to an active square and prepares castling. Many sharp gambits can result out of the Italian, for example the Evans gambit with b4. Although there are many sharp lines existing in the Italian game you also have to choice to go for very slow and dynamic lines, for example with d3, the Guicco Piano (translated :slow play). So you see its a very flexible opening and in no way bad. Anyway, details will follow later, looking forward to the coaching.

I didn't accuse you of cheating. I said that the teachings of a weak player analyzing with his Fritz were of no value for coaching purposes.

Now, if you're a strong player for real, please provide us with a link to your FIDE card. That's the least you can do.
