this is wonderful tejo and sirlosealot!
thank you for getting this started from the mentor side!!

mateulose and timmy, i am really too occupied in the other forum right now to do you justice - i wish i weren't.
however, if things work out, i'll be happy to work with both of you.

hopefully, someone others will step forward sooner and you won't be kept waiting.

in friendship,
prad
I would paraphrase: "I'm too ocupied with destroying other forums right now". IMO, site would really benefit if you, Prad, will spend your energy on the chess tuition.

PS: It is difficult to be silent sometimes. I'll learn it, just give me some time...😀

I think many users of this site would appreciate any mentorship being made public so they can follow along with you.

Perhaps you could tag your thread titles with something like: "Mentor:", "Advice:", or "Ask <mentor name>:"
If anyone is willing to step forward as a mentor, I wouldn't mind having our game posted in a public forum, even every-other-move or so, so others can see how a better player thinks and is organized. I'm thick-skinned enough to know that my game needs help and I'm not afraid to do so publicly.
Maybe post it as a new thread, where anyone can review the game. The mentor can submit his annotations following his move and the tyro (such a player as me) can submit his/her thought process behind the move. Yes, that may stifle some of those moves, but at least it can show the thought processes behind those moves.
Just a suggetstion...
In any case, I thank whoever may have the opportunity to mentor me ahead of time.

Thanks. I am sure Comatoad would like that.

It appears that I've been way too optimistic,as usual, and I must drastically adjust my offer of 10 training games.I can only take on 2,maybe 3.I do still offer tactics/endgame training using set piece games.Let's say another 3 or 4 of those.

I will step up to being a mentor.

I'm reasonably strong and have mentored at least two people in the past (not for very long and I really don't know with how much success).

Just e-mail me and I'll start...or I'll try to...I don't know.

Dear mentors,

Please consider dropping by the public games in progress and giving your two cents. I would greatly appreciate it.

I also have a lot to learn (would like a mentor myself) and I am no expert, but my rating is around 1680 and I am sure I could at least help you with some advice. You will have to be patient as like most people I have time issues. Yes, I will take jbaca! and create terminmater II.

I hope someone can take my place as a mentor. I am very busy the couple of weeks, so I don't have time to be a mentor. I am sorry.
