Looking for someone whose happy meeting up online one or twice a week for 2-5 hours to play some games, run through opening lines + GM games + own games + analyze midgames/endgames.
Most importantly, we can do stuff like look at a position, spend time ourselves coming up with the best continuation (maybe 3-4ply, up to 10ply) and discuss on the next time and then compare with engine. It'll be good practice. I always wanted to do the practice where you spend 30 minutes looking at a position, write out as many variations and evaluations as possible. But I never seem to bring myself to do it (I'm quite the procrastinator). I think with a partner it'll be much better.
Can keep contact through facebook/email/skype + play on chess.com.
My goal, personally, is not only improve my chss but also improve my bullet chess. I do fairly well at 3min/2+1minute time controls, I can keep up. But at 1 minute I can't handle having to premove so often, and keep dropping stuff. If you want to improve 1 minute too, or are good at it and can gimme some tips, that'd be great! Of course, 1 minute should just be a part of playing chess, long time controls are important too. But it's also fun and challenging. :)
