Free Chess Lesson for Beginners!

CLOSED UNTIL LATE DECEMBER! SORRY!

 

Hey, chess.com community! I'm willing to give 1 free lesson to beginners (preferably <900 rating in Live Chess, either blitz or standard; or, <1100 rating in correspondence). Exceptions to ratings can be made, as I know they're often inaccurate.

My plan is to play you in Live Chess (all games unrated). We'll have a 5 0 game without any instruction, so I could get a feel for how you play. Then, we'll have a 40 0 game that involves my method of teaching.

 

 

It is somewhat past midnight (12:30 a.m. or 0:30) in Eastern Standard Time at the time of this posting. I will be available between 21:00 and 00:00 EST on most days (= between 18:00 and 21:00 on chess.com's clock). Just respond here telling me the date and time you'd like to begin. (Hint: don't let any starting time be past 23:00, as many lessons will take a bit over an hour. :D)

I'll message you back, confirming the time / date I'm able to work with you.

 

 

I look forward to helping you out. Cheers, chess.comers!

 

 

Addenda: 1) I may reschedule my hours. If so, I'll be sure to make the change here. 2) If you want me to post some games as an example of my strength, I'll do so. 3) I emphasized scheduling a date and time you'd like to meet when you post here. I want to set an appointment in stone!

 

Booked: 21:00, August 5th (woodshover)

             21:00, August 24th (Insanitarium)

kunal, your level seems slightly stronger than I'd typically be able to help, but I'll definitely give you a try (with the 5 0 game). :)

I'll message you to set a time. I'm starting tomorrow, as it is getting late tonight. XD

Edit your post to say the date / time you prefer.

*Bump*

I honestly thought a ***FREE*** lesson would be more popular. Are my extremely simple marketing strategies failing again?

Avatar of StairwayToTruth

Bumping yet again.

It looks like I've filled up tonight, but every spot on subsequent days is open.

Changes: woodshover will be moved to tomorrow night at 21:00 EST.

I keep my appointments --- I just hope the other person could do the same! >_>

kunal0507, you're still up for 23:00 EST tonight if you're online.

 

EDIT: my Internet connection has been terrible tonight. I'll try to play you, kunal, but no guarantees. If my connection holds up, then I'll go for it! :)

I think this was your lesson, it was a free one: never make an appointment via the internet.

Avatar of kunal0507
