hi, im a big chess fan, im 21 years old and have been playing since as far back as i can remember. i perfer atleast 15minute games for live and enjoy the online chess. i love this site and have even became a crystal subscriber, im looking for someone to teach me openings, primarly for black, but also white, from what ive been seeing, a bad first 2 moves can put you in some serious doo - doo if your oppent knows how to take advantage of it, and /or knows a powerful gambit to put in effect, and me for one i am a huge fan of gambits , sadly i can only effectly use the queens side gambit (when im white). i am a very good player, right now my online record is 11 and 2, and on all my games i am just experimenting around they are not my best games, i have trouble reading online books on openings, im more of a hands on learner. so im begging you chess.com. please someone out there who is experienced, take me under your wing and make me a jedi of the chess board.

if anyone is available to teach me some advanced chess please send me a message. thx

the latest chessmaster has a lot of opening instruction from bruce pandolfini which i found helpful

 LOL, im not so bad as to pay 25$ for an hour of tutoring LMAO!!! last sentence says "take me under your wing" i thought it was obvious i dont want to close out my bank account for a instructor.... besides, the best teachers arent in it for the money ^^

Keeping that always in mind is the first rule for improvement.
