I got back to chess recently and am willing to give some free coaching. Means I can analyse your games, I can show you my opening repertoire with every detail and plan you need to know, help you build your own solid opening repertoire, play games against you, explain you my thought process during games and answer your chess related questions. If that sounds good to you and you are serious about chess and your improvement just comment here. Before you ask, yes this is my real FIDE rating but I wont be able to prove it as I want to stay anonymous. You will see that its real when you take the coaching or look at my rating here.

Your opinion of the following list:
Think of this list as an analysis tool. Analyzing is taking a big complicated problem, like finding the right move(s) in a chess position, and breaking the big problem into smaller simpler problems. Think of the things on this list as those smaller simpler problems that have to be solved in order to solve the big problem of finding the right move(s) in a chess position,
Think of this List as a set of pegs in the calculation tree. The pegs in the list will be great climbing aids in climbing much higher in the calculation tree than you ever could before. This list is your calculation big tree tool.
Here is the list I have kept since I started playing chess:
Things to do before I make a move
1. Am I sitting on my hands now that I am seated at the chess board table?
2. Is my written list in my possession?
3. What is my opponent threatening to do and what is my best move to stop his threat and Kill as much of his counterplay as possible ( you will have to learn what killing counterplay is, and how to execute it on the chess board.)
4. What is the pawn structure on the board and what are the pawn break points?
a. Remember pawn moves are permanent because they cannot move backwards.
b. Are there any pawn majorities on either side of the board?
c. Are there any open or half-open files on the board? Who is in control of that file?
d. Are there any pawn weaknesses on the board? You will have to learn about (doubled pawns,
isolated pawns, backward pawns, etc.) and how to exploit those weakenesses
e. Is the center blocked. Flank attacks succeed more often when the center is blocked
5. Are there any of mine or enemy undefended Pieces and/or Pawns?
a. Beware of pieces and or pawns that are defended indirectly. ( beware of tactics here!)
b. Beware of pieces and or pawns that are defended backwards. (yes enemy pieces can defend their own backwards because pieces can move forwards or backwards. Pawns can only move forward or diagonally forward when capturing.
6. Are there any weak square complexes in the position? Learn what these are and how to exploit.
7. Have I checked all of these items above 2x before I make a move,
What do you gain out of it? just curious?
