Would someone be willing to play with me, and show me what i do wrong, some tips, like coaching. I can not seem to win against the computer on medium, and i follow the rules of the study plans, and still cannot seem to improve. I know practice is the key, but some one on one help would be greatly appreciated.

there is profecional coaching on this website, it is not free though.

I was able to find only one game from you:

http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=321751817

As a general rule I don't analize 10 minute games. I recomend you try longer games.

Still I can tell you, you mess up on the opening, You didn't follow the rules of the opening and finaly let your knigth hanging so the oponent toke it for free.

Remember this simple rules on opening:

1. protection of kink over all.

2. Gaing as much as you can of the center.

3. develop all the midle pices.

This 3 rules will take you out of the opening with enoug oportunities to play the midle game.

And remember play longer games that will give you time to think more. Before you move, consider what posible atacks your enemy cna do to you, then what posible defences, or counter-atacks you can do. Do not let pieces on the air where oponent can take for free.

After every game, specialy the ones you lost, analice the game and understand why you lost it.

That was the game i played before i learned the rules i have been playing the computer

I have found if you follow the principles of

Develop

Control centre

Avoid having to move same piece twice during opening

Connect rooks (castle)

Control diagonals (long where possible) with bishops

Move rooks to empty files

Paying attention to just these basics has improved my game greatly in a matter of weeks.

 

I am willing to play you, i am still learning and improving though so dont listen to me too much ;-) but i will help where i can, i am sure some others will add to the above principles which i may have forgot.

 

Peace
