FIDE Master chess coaching

Post by Alex Therrien » Wed Jun 08, 2011 12:03 pm

Hi,

I am a FIDE Master and chess coach with more than 5 years' teaching experience, and am always interested in speaking to new students.

I offer coaching online and in person in the Sussex area, and have a website, which contains articles for players of different levels, as well as blog postings about my chess experiences.

I am an experienced chess player who has played in the British Championship and other international competitions, and have beaten various strong players, including a Grand Master and multiple IMs.

To go to my website and get in touch with me, visit http://chesstutor.co.uk

Thanks,

Alex

This would be to help you with the Border League website?

Hi Alex.

Site looks OK to me, the lads are just joshing.

One thing though, the font is very light can it be darkened
light grey on white is not very inviting.

In the end I highlighted everything because I wanted to read it,
others, first time browsers may be put off.

Good Luck.

Apologies Alex for my sarcastic post. I was merely alluding to the incorrect domain in your post and couldn't resist!

Originally it was http://www.chesstutor.co.uk/ but it has been corrected.

Even my quotation of the error has been corrected but not by me.

On the other hand, phpMyAdmin is so easy to use even when hacking the db sitting behind phpBB! :lol:

I was led to believe that was the Ford Escort, Mk. 3 or Vauxhall Astra. 1980s Fords were amongst the most targetted insecure thing there is apart from paranoid persons.
