chess lessons by patzers?!

Im new here, Trying something new. Why do I see a bunch of lower rated players offering coaching services? On icc they must be titled. Why on earth would anyone take lessons from a 1400?

Then you'll learn how GMs do not think. Thats great training

Of course to, say an 800, 1400 looks mighty impressive.

Yeah but it only takes very little effort, if any, to go from 800 to 1400, and I'm not even talking Internet ratings here but real ones.  Hell, just developing your pieces and making positional assessments and planning around them alone might put 400 points on an 800's rating right there, or studying (very) basic endgames, while both together should bring them up to 1400. 

A 1400 can teach a 700-800 kid

An adult learner should probably get a higher rated coach...

I dont know I just dont get it im 1443 uscf and still havent peaked because I havent played in many tourneys, But I would never offer coaching services. Because I dont think Im capable of giving a kid what they pay for. Im not a master. Im just surprised chess.com allows untitled players to advertise for lessons. Afraid many ppl arent getting bang for their buck!

Because there's always a big "knowitall" factor in the chess world.  That's why 1400s engage in these antics.

I read the title and almost choked on my drink!

... and people say that you don't tackle the subject matter.

Nailed it, this time!

Yeah, and it wore me out too.  I'm gonna have to go watch a few episodes of Lidsville now just to unwind.

Leaving the letching to one side, how were the chess lessons?

"pretty hot" or "pretty, hot"?

I occasionally give lessons to people under 1000 I have helped a lot of people that has helped me too... If u r interested for a good laugh there's an 800 teaching chess levels from absolute begginer to expert

I don't think anybody would be ridiculous enough to actually pay a 1400 to teach em, but they might be taught for free.

1400? Setting up the pieces lessons.

I wonder if she really was a girl. Bang(c)o(c)k is known for ladyboys. ^^

I know the feeling, right goldendog ? 

I don't know. If everybody coaches someone a few hundred points lower, automatically everybody gets stronger. Of course you should not expect much from it. Certainly I wouldn't expect them to ask any money.

I help beginners and weaker club players out here and there, and I never ask any money for it. I think I certainly could, if I had a real compilation of lessons anywhere. :P

I hear ya.

I know some know it alls. I hate it. I will be playing and this dip shiz will start analyzing and be completly wrong almost every time. Thinks he is a master, ughh annoying
