I'll do it for half of what tonydal asks for but you'll have to put up with some abuse, and all my limericks will be mean.

Some good achievements of mine are I am my nieborhoods champion. 5th grade champion when I was 11 (my greatest achievement since I won the tournament after only 3 or 4 days after learning how to play chess!) drew a NM in a simul drew a CM in a 3 match 1 on 1 game with a score of 1-1-1. I've only given 4 simuls in my life time all with me winning and only losing one game in one of the simuls made the Top 3 in 3rd place at my middle school club of 20 or so kids. Current Highschool champion. all this year so far I  came in 3rd in a knockout tourney tied for first in a round ribon tourney came in 1st in 3 other diffrent knockout tournaments. I once went in an all month winning streak (playing 3 or 4 games every day.) i think it was 2 months ago now. I havent had any losing streaks for almost a year now. as far as coaching wise myself I taught a student who went to become his school champ (my cusion and he's still currently the champion) at an elementray school.

Now some bad things about me I like to tell both I onced had a lost a game having an entire queen ahead my longest losing streak was 8 or 7 loses in a row. I dont play good in 30min and under games. And I once came dead last in a swiss 15min games tourney. I was once stuck around a level of play (dont rember what level) for 3 months. my biggest upset loss was someone 500 points lower than me.

LOL...I spent a couple of years in the 1600s.  As far as your achievements go, not sure why you need a coach (maybe you should be the one doing the coaching, as I guess you did with your cousin).


LOL my competition is getting harder and I need some help or someone to at least go over master games with me.

With a track record like yours, I don't understand the desperation?  Did a gang of Masters threaten to come over to your 'hood and have a go at you next week for talking to Elizabeth Shue? did one of them sweep the leg, even though he shouldn't have?

Jokes apart, most people would dream to have your kind of progress ... yet, you feel this is too slow?

lol thanks but really My dream/ultimate goal in chess is to become WC and so far like you said I know I've did really well with self improvement but I never had a full time coach and to live my dream I fell I need one now.Smile

If you are really serious about that kind of a goal, you need to go about seeking a mentor in a manner a zillion times more logically than a post on chess.com.

You're a smart guy, work the numbers.  Decide how much bank you can afford / week for your chess,  figure out which famous coaches (nearby/online) can work with you at THAT kind of an intensity and approach them directly.  

This message-in-a-bottle thing is a little less effective and people won't take you seriously.

 I know you almost certainly won't listen, but here's the truth anyway: You will not become world champion.

 My goal today is to run all the way across Britain. And don't you dare say anything to discourage me because at least I'm having a go! Tongue out
