Hello all. As the title suggests i am not a great player as yet. I just wondered if there is anyone within the group who may have the time to play a few correspondence games with me and along the way give me some advice to help improve my game (unrated games ofcourse so no risk to your ratings). I am not a complete beginner and do not have a problem understanding the concept behind some of the poular openings being used so should anyone agree they would not be starting from scratch. Almost certainly the potential is there for me to become quite good with the correct tuition so it would hopefully not be a waste of your time.

i can help you out

Me too, challenge me if you whant to oppose me, rated or unrated you choose.

My rating is around 1700 so I should be able too help you with the easier stuff.

thankyou to those who offered help. i have not been around for a couple of days but i have challenged both of you now. any advice would be greatly appreciated. also thankyou to VainSang, he didn't post here but has been a real help.

You 're welcome. If we don't help each other in something we like we will stay alone.

what i would do: just go onto settings and click the button for unrated-games against new chess-starters...you can even set how many opponents you wish to have at once. unrated games start automatically then.

it works, i have done it!
