FM Daniel Tapia, Colombia
I charge $10 a lesson, a lesson lasting approximately an hour. If you become my student, you'll have to LISTEN and WORK. My goal is to create a complete player having a good opening repertoire, knowledge of middlegame plans and endgame theory, and a comprehensive skill set in tactics. Due to my location, we can only use ICC for lessons. But we can use gtalk, skype, etc. to communicate.
