It would be nice if reputed chess players could be selected for the sole purpose of playing against a person, and analyzing their game afterward, giving some expert advise. Yes, you can post a thread asking someone random to analyze a specific game; but it's not the same as someone trusted giving detailed, expert advise on your game. Maybe we can call this the "online coach" feature.
I think this will work well if each coach had no more than three people at a time, playing about five games per coaching session. The first game would have advise come at the end of the session so that the coach could gauge a player's ability; the next three games would involve advise given during the games; the fifth and last game would then be like the first, giving advise at the end, with a comment on how far the one being coached has come, and what he/she should work on.
I think this should be offered to players a 1400 ranking or less, or any player who's win-streak is in a slump.
thoughts?
