    The master needs to be at least 2300+ and have  relatively a lot of games in the popular databases. My openings are 1.e4 as white, 1...e5 as black, and i play the KID in response to every other one of white's first moves. I am a positional player although i play these open games. i search to bring activity in to my games which lead to tactical shots.

    So basically i need a player who has good opening preparation, plays to bring activity into his positions and doesnt play for draws. And preferably plays 1.e4 and 1...e5.

    At 1400 I wouldn't think of yourself of having a specific opening style. I only think of people who have a type of style as grandmasters. Just try to improve your overall game, mostly tactics and endgames.

    I have a lot of time. Im only 17 and all i do is homework and for fun watch chess youtube videos but i want to get serious. Please dont base your advise on my chess.com rating. The other day i placed 13th in a tournament with a score of +4 -2 in a tournament with the top 50 players being 1600+

    I am one of those begginers who so thouroughly studied the openings and tried out every single opening just to come abck to 1.e4...e5 because i realize i need to start with the basics. I have the SIlman endgame book, i have my system, i have mastering chess strategy. I have 2 tactics books with over 3k tactics each. I jsut want to be the best chess player i can be from sheer hard work

    Heck, I'm only 13. If you want to get serious, analyze your games and don't worry about style.  Find out what's causing your losses.

    Oh, and watch NM aww-rats free video lessons. They sound like an ad but they really help.

    Oh, and don't worry about ratings. If you have to, play unrated games.

     Try this tactics puzzle from E. Adams - C. Torre, New Orleans 1920.
