trying to get better

im trying to improve can somebody help me? someone who is patient as im not very good and kinda shy about it haha

I looked over some of your games and am positive that in just a couple of sessions you’d really improve.
In one game that was a loss you had checkmate on the next move - ouch!
I’m in my 60s and am writing down ideas about how to get from beginner to intermediate, so your thoughts and opinions would help me, too.
Just friend me & we can look over some of your games & see how it goes. I can show you how to use the free chess engine to see when a big move happened (good or bad), and hopefully show how to look at the board & pieces to make better decisions & the game more fun.
I’m not a coach or baiting you to pay money or buy anything.
Same goes with any other beginner reading this post - friend me & let’s see.
Best chess wishes!

Dear Katie,

I can help you to improve all of your skills at chess (openings, strategies, tactics, endgames, analysing your own games). Let me introduce myself.

My name is Gabor Balazs. I am a Hungarian FM, fighting for the IM title. My top ELO is 2435. I have been playing chess for 21 years. I won the Hungarian Rapid Championship twice (U16 and U18).

I love teaching chess and it is very important for me that both of us enjoy the lessons beside the hard work. I have pupils almost all the levels from beginners to advanced players (1100-2200 ELO).

You can see a lot of feedbacks from my coaching services here: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-lessons/feedbacks-from-my-services

Why should you choose me?

- I have a widespread opening repertoire (a lot of openings are analysed by strong Grand Masters).

- I have a lot of chess books in PDF and Chessbase format, so I can teach you the main middlegame plans, the art of calculations, famous chess games and the endgame theory.

- I have elaborated, personalized training plans, which help you to improve your skills effectively.

- I help you analyse your games deeply, so you can realise your mistakes and learn from them.

- I am really flexible and hard-working person, the quality of my work is really important for me.

Please, contact me (balazsgabor1991@gmail.com), if you are interested in working with me, I am looking forward to your message.
