ChatGPT You said: Help me write a request for free chess coaching on chess.com. I am expecting my first child mid may and I'd like to use chess as a way to unwind.

ChatGPT said: Sure! Here's a friendly and honest message you could post or send as a request for free chess coaching on Chess.com: Subject: Request for Free Chess Coaching – New Dad Looking to Unwind Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to see if anyone might be willing to offer some free chess coaching. I’m expecting my first child in mid-May, and as life gets busier, I’d love to use chess as a mindful way to unwind and keep my brain active in those quiet moments. I’m not looking to become a grandmaster—just hoping to learn and improve steadily with some guidance from someone who enjoys teaching. I can commit to being respectful, curious, and consistent, even if sleep-deprived! Thanks in advance for considering it. Any help or pointers would be truly appreciated. Best, [Your Name / Chess.com Username]

Want me to tweak it based on your current rating or how much experience you already have? You said: My rating is 270 or so so there are lots of room for improvement

ChatGPT said: Perfect! Here's an updated version with your rating included: Subject: Beginner Dad-to-Be Looking for Free Coaching Hi everyone, I’m a new chess enthusiast with a rating around 270, so there’s plenty of room for improvement! I’m also expecting my first child in mid-May, and I’m hoping to use chess as a way to unwind and stay mentally engaged during this big life transition. If anyone is open to offering some free coaching or beginner-friendly advice, I’d be hugely grateful. I’m eager to learn, open to feedback, and can be consistent (even if occasionally sleep-deprived). Thanks so much for considering it!

Anyways, in regards to your question, I always see a ton of forum posts of coaches looking for students so you could probably check a few of those out. I'm pretty sure some of them are even offering free coaching.
