I started playing regularly about a year ago and I'm rated a little over 1400 online and I'm going to start playing over the board tournaments soon.
I'm looking for a coach preferably 2000+ rating who would be willing to coach me in person.
I've tried a couple coaches online but I feel like it would be much better in person.
I'm willing to pay by the hour depending on how far I need to travel to get to you and what your rating is.
Comment here or message me if you're close to Melrose Park/Oak Park area in Western Chicago.

Hello,

I know that you would like to learn chess in live but beleive me, you can improve fast online, too if you have the right coach. II have 13 pupils now, and I am happy to see their rapid improvement. n my opinion, chess has 4 main territories: openings, strategies, tactics and endgames. You should improve all these territories at the same time, that's how you could increase your level faster. Tactics is just one area (but of course, it is important). At beginner level, it is also very important to analyse your games deeply and learn from your mistakes. You can do it with chess.com enginges but it is not enough. It can tell you if a move was good or bad, but can't explain why (and which is the good plan behind the moves). You need to do it with a stronger player or a coach. I am an official coach, who can help you with all these territories. If you are interested in working with me, please, check my profile and if my conditions are suitable for you, you can send me a private message.  Here, you can find some feedbacks about my coaching services: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-lessons/feedbacks-from-my-services I am looking forward to your message.
