Looking for a serious chess study partner
I'm a ~1300 (chess.com) and ~1700 (Lichess) classical player and more interested in understanding chess deeply than simply grinding rating.
Currently working through Endgame Strategy (Shereshevsky) and Logical Chess (Chernev) and my own classical games.
For example, this week I'm studying Chapter 1 of Shereshevsky's Endgame Strategy. I'd love to compare independent analyses before checking Stockfish.
Looking for someone interested in:
- discussing one chapter/game every week
- asking "why" rather than memorizing moves
- analyzing without Stockfish first
- challenging each other's ideas
Time commitment: 1–2 hours/week.
I'm based in India (IST), but happy to coordinate with other time zones if schedules overlap.
Rating isn't important. Curiosity is.
(P.S. I'm not looking for a coach—just someone equally curious who enjoys thinking deeply about chess.)
If this sounds like your idea of fun, send me a DM.
