Looking for a 'Practice Group'

Sort:
Avatar of Mr_Crow

So just playing online is good practice and all.  But after each game instead of reviewing the game they up and leave for the next challanger.   What i am looking for is some players who want to get better (maybe even stuck at a certin rating like i am) and after each game discuss week points, strong points, 'Hey your end game is S***' .. and whatever else comes up. 

I currently am stuck at 1300's.   partially i play when distracted on my phone alot.   But mostly because of skill.   I feel comfortable on opening, mid, and end game.  reading books on openings i like, getting books soon on mid and end game.   Also, on facebook my rating is much higher.  Possiably due to skill of facebook players but maybe because i am not distracted when i play there.  So my skill level may be higher than the 1300's on here.

Any one interested?

Actually I'd like to be part of this. Maybe we should create a real group and have some kind of schedule so we can manage to play despite time area problems ...

I like that idea!   But, i have no clue on how to actually make one... :D   Ill look into it. 

But i am available for the next couple hours if anyone wants to practice

Ah, we need someone who has a paid membership for a group.

Since I like the idea myself, am a paying member and could use the review with opponents myself I went ahead and created one. Feel free to join and Mr_Crow,  would you like to become an admin? I just created the group but don't consider it 'mine'.

Welcome all guys, and yes I started playing right away! But feel free to send challenges. In the coming days we will need to figure out how to give the group a good form and I would suggest we do that together.

Avatar of Hansie1st

You've been quiet.  In this world of withheld permissions I do a lot of that already.  I'm not as stuck as BTB suggests, I'm crawling up but, still, it's up.
