I, batch77, have taken up chess 18 months ago. I was blessed enough to find @Kestony to be my couch. He put me through the ringer, demanding me to be the best that I can obtain. He is very understanding, viewing where you are, evaluating your depth. He then puts a plan together, bring you step by step to the next level. You can be fully up front on what you think, he encourages that. For he wants to  know where and how you think. This allows him to program a system just for you. You may not understand what he is asking or the purpose.  Just do what he asks. For when the light goes off in your head, you will then fully understand his genius. I encourage everyone to seek his counsel. For he is Obey one, no question.

We had our first lesson on 4th August 2019 and on 1st October 2019 my rating went up 236 points in 45 days. We worked nearly continuously and had regular lessons for an hour twice a week (1h x 2 / week) . Nearly continuously, because I also I had to take a 10 day break due to business abroad. So overall, we probably worked together let's say around 45 days.

Kestony taught from a system of his, I loved the part that it was all structured instead of being chaotic. He asked me to play long time control games, instead of blitz. I was forced to think more, stopped blunders and my game gradually matured. He then reviewed my games helped me cut down unnecessary mistakes further. He showed me tricks and asked me to solve strategic puzzles, which improved my long-term planning and vision on the board.

Here is my progress: 236 chess.com elo points/45days =+5.67/day.
Probably I still suck, and have a ton to learn, but no doubt Kestony is a great coach.

Can anyone tell me how to get out of a tournament that I signed up for, unknowingly other than classical chess. For what I was presented with, I have no idea. How does one reach chess.com for or through an email. To get out of this tournament. I want classical, not canadia.
