His finger notes are as follows: ---------------- 1: 33/m/ South Dakota, USA 2: I would be interested in hearing from anyone that works with teaching childeren chess. I have a six year old son (Tyler) that learned how to play chess when he was five. If you can give my son some help or me some idea's please "message pahl", thanks. 3: Please do not "Message" me or send me a "Tell" asking if I am looking for help teaching my son only to chat with me for a very short time then tell me you get $30-$50 hour. I can find help like that anyplace. I wish i had the money to pay for chess lessons for my son, but I do not. 4: If you work with kids and can give me some free lessons, advice or help my son and I would love to hear from you, thanks. 5: If you send me a "Tell" and I do not reply it maybe because my son is at the computer. He does not play games with other players on my ICC account, but he does use Trainingbot. 6: Tyler is going to get Chessmaster 8000 for X-mas. Do you have a child that uses Chessmaster? If so I would be interested in hearing from you. Did it help his game? 7: Chessmaster 8000 has been great training for my son. He loves it. There is so much to do on it, very interesting software. 8: http://www.icdchess.com/ourstore.html ---------------- How is this "pushing CM"? He is merely saying that he likes it and wonders if anybody else is using it to teach their child. I could easily say something equally rude in return, but you are so clearly in the wrong here that I don't need to bother. jm
