Hey all,

I've recently gotten back into playing chess after quite a few years of being off the radar. I'm not a novice, and am currently reading through a few books. However I find myself a more visual learner i.e. board in front of me watching the pieces move.

Where would I find individuals willing to mentor someone on the finer aspects of chess?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm full, but public games, in the true sense of the word, can really help. because you get all sorts of input from middle players like me ant TomTom, and then you get some better advice from ih8sens, and then maybe Korch or Dragon Fire will help you out.

I usually play 1. d4, but it's easier to catch up on tactics, so we'll start with a tactically based game. you make all of the black moves, and we'll all play white against you, with tons of advice and help as well.

1. e4



now, since you're not new, I'll assume that you still remember your response of choice.
