This is a training game (I’m a retired professional chess coach) and hopefully will interest spectators as well.

Mosier can:

- take a move back (if he happens to blunder horribly, I’ll point that out!)
- ask my advice on his next move
- ask questions about strategy + tactics
- read my running commentary on the game

I’d prefer he didn’t use a computer (I do practice against them, but this is about Mosier learning for himself) and I don’t think spectators should make suggestions (for the same reason.)

The game idea came from this thread:

I’ve got White (I’m going to play Candyman 74 as Black in another thread as well) and will move next post.
