Study Partner

Of course a coach would be beneficial, but they cost $$$

and i want to practice my slow time controls.

I would agree and say from experience that longer games are even more beneficial when played live OTB.

However, there are numerous groups here dedicated to longer games too. So you can get quality games here as well.

I'd be available for you as an occasional partner, but I'm probably too weak for you. But if you ever want to give us a try, drop me a PM. :-)

Thank you for your input David but I do all that already! A study partner is what I want, hence this thread.

loved to be your sparrmate but, the trend in tourneys nowadays is 25mins per game. ANd thats what im training my self in also. But if your interested you are most welcome.

Thanks Tom, I have been playing OTB for 7 years and have seen my initial OTB rating 1258 go up to nearly 1500 so yes, you are correct, OTB is a great way to improve.

What I am really after is someone i can improve even more with and a bit of motivation.

thanks
