Anyone?

i think i would enjoy and benefit from a personal chess tutor, but i also think I have so much to learn that I should improve upon the basic principles before I tie up a good player with my novice skills and mistakes.

Ideally, it would be neat to hook up with a really good player/coach, play them online over and over, and receive criticism and instruction along the way in each game.  I bet it would not take long to improve at my current level... I have no where to go but up.

I enjoy tutoring if anybody wants to play some learning games...

I am an above average player and have been playing for some 40 years or so. I hope to get good at it before Alzheimers sets in  ;-)

Anyone really seeking instruction would be best advised to contact The MusicCityMaster!

Are you Todd Andrews?

If you're under 1400 and bargain shopping, I can help as well. Todd is a very experienced and reasonably priced teacher, I reccomend him to anyone. In fact, I haven't taken a lesson from anyone else in the last two years! And Melz-- no e4forme is Chris from Columbia. MusicCityMaster is Todd.

I do not think anyone is unfit for mentoring/learning so longs they they wish to get better!

In fact, I think it is important at an early stage to have someone good and patient help and mentor so that a person does not develop bad chess habit that could stunt their chess growth without even realizing it.

Putting yourself in the hands of a qualified master that is patient, willing and suited to be flexible to meet their students needs cannot be a bad thing.  Only good can come from it, regardless of rating level, experience.

I wish I had done so for myself instead of allowing my ego to fool me into thinking I could be World Champ all on my own. 

Sincerely,

There is a guy who is in the chess club I play in (Rutherford County Chess Club) who is a chess coach. His name is Igor Zhislin, and he can be reached at igorzhislin@gmail.com. Or you could just come play with us Friday nights, 7:00 to whenever.
