The subject line probably doesn't make sense....

I haven't been on chess.com for very long, but I notice that most players (in CC chess) don't really like to chat about the game while it's in progress. That's perfectly fine and I'm not complaining about that - after all you wouldn't do that in a real OTB tournament game. And I truly don't mind playing serious games in this way.

However, I'm not very good yet, and I would be interested in playing someone who doesn't mind some comments once in a while, like "Ouch, I missed that one, even though I thought for a full hour about it!", or "how did you get such a great position by move 10 - do you know this opening?", or "Sorry, I was expecting you to have played "nn...nnn" to prevent this", or "You've made nothing but pawn moves in the opening, but you've got me choked" <- that's a real one.  In other words, a friendly game with no pressure but mutual learning, and some chatting back and forth about the game itself.

How should I go about this - I don't see any field for comments in the game-seek form.

Larry, I'm more than willing to have a chatty game. I'll send you a challenge now...

sent you a challenge

Challenge sent.

Thanks everyone, who offerred me a game, and I apologize if I missed a few invites.  And sorry that I didn't know you could play CC games unrated here.

Next, I want to offer trust-based time per turn games, but I will start that in another thread.
