no that was a humorous little bit why would you sell the refutation of an opening that no one is going to pay for because the opening is so bad it doesn't need refuting. and the system is so bad it fails once queens are traded. get a brain dude
Defences to the Parham Attack
Sort:
Jetfighter, are you telling me to get a brain?
yes I am telling you to get a brain because you take everything that people say in your favor as serious and everything against it as garbage. you need to get more than a brain, you need to get a reality check. listen to the song You Can't Always Get What You Want. that might help you realize that you are wrong and need to lighten up on comparing one of the greatest chess players ever Fischer and claiming the idiot Parham is on equal footing. Fischer could crush Parham as Black against the Parham Attack.
Or normal people who figured out the Parham is a perfectly fine opening to play.
its around 10 dollars an hour. minimum is 7.25 an hour
I've never met a person in my life who makes $200 an hour. Anyone who makes that kind of money (a small fraction of the population) is almost certainly getting a yearly salary and not an hourly wage.
I did mention that a fraction of the people in America DO make that much money (just not the ones I know), but they don't make it hourly. The people making that money are salaried or living off the fruit of investments. My point was that that level of income is rare (less that 2% according to 2005 data) and Jakario1977 here should know that not everyone in America is a wealthy financier.
Intuitively I would guess that the percentage of people interested in chess lessons that fall into that income bracket is even lower. Plus, you could be training with elite GMs for the prices he is asking.
lol

okay some of us do make much more money (private doctors in Hong Kong make up to 400k/month), but those guys are freaking trained like crazy 16 hours a day for over 10 years (6 years normal doc + 4 years or more specialist), and have to rise through the ranks and build confidence on customers etc etc, while carrying a great responsibility.
Seriously, a 1000 rated player has practically 0 qualifications to teach chess, and should not be earn more than $10 per hour.
thats what I have been trying to tell you one time here.
My coach is around 2200 fide rated and he only charged me 80 bucks (RMB) for 1hr30min of training. :)
I talking about someone else not CS.

Yes, I agree! It should cost the teachers $750 per hour to teach their students the Parham.

cheap stuff happens occasionally :D
I'm not sure that that's that cheap, my coach is an FM who only charges 80$ for a "1 hr" lesson.
Our lessons usually take at least 2 hrs.
Yesss!!
Oh, didn't notice 
. Yeah, that is cheap then. I think that's even cheaper than what Vlad charges. Well, it's close, but Vlad isn't rated 2200.
I live in singapore but im staying in china for a while :)
Below find an excellent real-life example of how the Parham destroys all in its path:
According to Samsch, Fischer is as good as Parham, I didn't say it, Samsch did.
