looking to coach a U1200 rated for free! limited time


I am working right now will be going on about an hour, perhaps we could play a game to start and you could evaluate.

it was great, the coach is dedicated, unfortunately i am not as dedicated but love learning the game

I looked at your game vs ZionPureHeart and noticed a couple of mistakes in the opening
6. Qf3 not a good idea to bring your queen out early in the opening--develop your minor pieces first.
7. e5 This is also important. Do not move a pawn twice in the opening unless you have a very good reason. In this case you lost ground when your opponent attacked your over extended pawn with d6.
If you remember these 2 rules -- your rating will soon rise by about 40 to 50 points...
Also if you really want to learn -- stop playing fast games. Give yourself at least 15 minutes per game.
You can get a lot better if you learn from your mistakes.

I looked at your game vs tnsatilh [spell?]
9. Ng5 avoid moving a piece twice in the opening without a very good reason
10. Be2 again avoid moving a piece twice in the opening without a very good reason.
13. Nh3 Your knight has no scope there. 13. Nf3 would have been better.
If you remember these 2 rules your rating will go up about 70 points
Do not move a piece twice in the opening without a very good reason.
Do not move a pawn twice in the opening without a very good reason.
