Hello, my name is Nathan Ballance and I feel like I need to get a NM title within 8 months. I am going to be joining the military, so I realize playing online chess will almost certainly be impossible. Before I leave I would like to get my title, and be satisfied with the knowledge I have learned in chess, thus far. I realize that my knowledge of chess will slowly dissipate over time and would like to utilize the knowledge I know now.
I have played 3 OTB games and I was caught in the opening all 3 games. My record (W:D:L) is 2:0:1. I have a provisional rating of 2205. Is anyone interested in teaching me? I like a variety of openings, but I would like to specialize in d4 openings as white, and the Najdorf Sicilian and Dutch Defense as black.
This is my New Year's Resolution, and you can help me accomplish my goal! Talk to you soon
