 assumption is that your familiar with basic moves and

 or library for a primer on the game. After that then there's
 some of us to work with you.

considerablly I have an Internet E-Mail Adress- I use to
play an Opponent from Isreal through Fidonet Mail and the pace was slow.
With Fidonet one has to be patient for replys to arrive at there
destination. Based on experince I have had Opponents who had losing
positions in games and then when my Hardrive broke and I was unable to
contact them via net mail
they got upset and declared me in forfiet when I got back online (Cheap
excuse to win a game).
Here is my Internet Adress: Alec.Goudreau@Sympatico.ca
