Hey there!!! I an training for a National Competition that is being held in Indianapolis this year and I need all the help I can get!!! I will be competing with the top players in the Open Section so I need a LOT of strong high rated players on here to send me some unrated game challenges. Please? I could really use the help of any high rated chess players on here. I would also gladly accept games from any Masters on here. This is a very important tournament for me because I have been training nonstop for about 6-7 hours a day every day for the past 8 months now!!! I am growing stronger and my ultimate goal in the next year or so is to become a Master ranked player so any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks :).

You are rated below 1200. By "strong", do you mean anybody 1200 and above? What time control are you seeking? Why unrated? A lot of the people who play unrated have manipulated their ratings.

If you are looking for correspondence games, please explain why you forfeited 63 games two weeks ago. Why should anyone invest the time?

your playing in the open? as a 1200? good luck m8

I recomend you buy the book "My System" by Aron Nimzowitsch (Quality chess edition) and maybe its sequel (Also quality chess edition)

I feel like it will really help you improve
