Welcome to LFT!

This team focuses on 60+30 events for intermediate players with one round per week with rare exception. In each round, the paired players schedule their game and then play at the set time. Our events are commonly multi-month-long commitments, so please read the rules of every event you join. Most events have a forum to join and see pairings.

I do not tolerate hatred or harassment of any form on this team, I enforce this intensely.

Vikram is looking for students, They are rated 1368 USCF, and around 1750 Lichess Rapid. I have known them for a long time both in-person and online, I believe they would make a wonderful coach for any beginner level player. Vikram is a new coach, His first student has had amazing progress, and he has a strong OTB record including a tie for second place at the 2023 Amateur Northern Virginia Open. Their approach includes a mix of going over games, a study plan, and some calculation exercises for homework when appropriate. Their lichess username is @Randomcello.
This is a game they played on this team, against one of our strong active members.
