Thank you!
I've had two teachers from Jamaica, both of whom were subpar, in my opinion. One of them just held Jeremy Silman's "How to Reassess Your Chess" up to the camera and asked me to solve problems I could do myself. I learned nothing from him. Is this one of your teaching methods? If so, I'll pass. If not, I may be interested. I considered buying ten lessons at a time and then reassessing if I wanted to continue. I'm retired so that I can devote time to my homework. I need encouragement and a training plan that you will review with me to ensure I'm digesting the material. And the more encouragement I get, the more I like the lessons. Finally, I'd like to prepare for the Denver Open next May. Thank you for considering me.
The coach is very special and his lessons are different from GM, IM, WGM, FM lessons I've had before. He is not filling the lessons with only theory but makes you think very deeply and understand this game of chess. At first I thought this is a waste of time but now I can see I play alot better when I take the time. He cares alot for the student and sent useful tips after the lessons also. This takes alot of his time but he doesn't care as long as the student makes progress. I would recommend the coach and YOU should try it out and see if the coach is something for you!
