Tom O'Donnell (Canada) 30 chekels/hr. Taught chess 25+ years for 800 - 2200. Focus on middlegame strategy/tactics, thinking techniques to find moves/plans. Correctly applying what information you have rather than learning a bunch of new stuff you can't use is key. Message me if interested.
I teach chess, mostly to children, up here. My students and former students have a half-dozen national championships, and over two dozen provincial/state championship titles.
For people who have the child chat feature enabled, please email me at tomohawk52@hotmail.com to arrange lesson day/time. :)
I don't normally play games with really fast time controls or without increments. I am slow with the mouse and slower with the brain.
Your games are your best source of study material. I sometimes ask for time after a game on here to check out what I did wrong. Chess has so many ways to go wrong that it is criminal to repeat the same mistake over and over. ;-)
Thanks for reading. :)
