I have a close friend who is a very strong (IMO) player. It's been a blessing over the years to have an opponent who is better that you and willing to analyse and tutor. Local clubs are usually full of such players.

Unfortunately not, I've only ever plated on here.

Hope the OP does not mind me answering on his thread.
