Answers.Body: <p>This is not the place for free personal chess coaching. If you are serious about improving your chess but not serious enough to pay a coach then your best bet is to join a local chess club and play over the board on a weekly basis. Such clubs will often provide free coaching to juniors like yourself. That will almost certainly be in groups but you may get lucky.</p>
  <p>I would add that I don't think anybody is going to want to give free chess lessons to somebody who identifies as a Chess GM.</p>

Body: <p>I am a young 1300 fide rated chess player and in my surrounding it's difficult to find a good chess coach. I play 1-3 fide rated tournaments every year and I see improvements every time. But I thought that I could double this improvement rate if I can find the perfect chess mentor for me.</p>
  <p>I am a student and don't have a proper idea about how to balance my studies and chess. Hence I decided to find someone who could help me and went to chatgpt for help. It said that on this website I can find someone who will be willing to help me to get better at handling chess and studies and also help me get better at chess just because they want to help me.</p>
  <p>I hope to find that person soon.</p>
