Erik I am very interested, let me know what I need to do or what you would need from me if you feel that I could be of use.

Thanks,

Brentonious, a good place to begin is a book on tactics than explains all the basic motifs (pins, skewers, discoveries, forks, removal of the guard, etc) with some examples (practice them until you can solve most of them instantly). "Winning Chess Tactics" by Seirawan comes to mind, but Chessmaster would also work. After that, a tool like the chess.com Tactics Trainer is excellent for practice solving real-world tactical positions.

Definitely can do.  I'd just need 2 weeks to put my notice in at my current work.  Rate of pay would be my only concern, I definitely fit into the other categories (computer knowledge, PGN manipulation, etc.)

I'll resend this as a message.
