I was wondering if there was anyone out there interested in doing some training sessions. Basically I am trying to get back into chess and feel it would be useful to have someone to train with a few times a month to keep each other motivated and objective.

If you have ever read Dan Heisman’s Novice Nook and The Improving Chess Thinker you should be familiar with his concept of playing “Real Chess.” This is where I think training with someone could be good as we could play unrated training games and make sure we are following a thought process that is consistent and conforms to Dan Heisman’s idea of playing “Real Chess.”

We could chat via Skype. I'm in -5 GMT (Eastern time in the US)
