I am look forward to speaking with you soon, your chess rating will thank you!😉

Chess coaching is about helping those less skilled and experienced than you. There shouldn't be a minimum rating requirement, it should just be once you have progressed past the beginner stage. Honestly speaking, my job isn't to teach players the fundamentals of how to play like a titled player or expert. My job is to teach people techniques and skills to hang less pieces in their games, stalemate less, and have more success and enjoyment while playing. Furthermore, the blitz ratings are likely much more inflated than the Rapid Ratings with players reaching 3300+ rating quite literally farming player like you for elo. Lastly, I find it quite ironic your assessment of skill is based off of a time format I try to limit me students from playing too much, especially since blitz games aren't so quality until around the titled player level. Btw I've coached over a hundred people in chess alone at this point and have beaten 2000 rated players on chess.com in both Rapid and blitz games...I guess the players at your level also don't understand the basic fundamentals of chess either if we are going off of your logic.

One time, a player rated 1800 was coaching me. He told me to keep my pieces away from the center of the board, because they are safer that way. When I thanked him for the advice, he asked how much I was going to pay him, and how big of a tip he would get. I said I would neither pay him nor tip him, so, seeing that tactfulness would not get him money, he promptly rearranged my face and took my lunch money.

Not very related to this thread, but an interesting anecdote nonetheless.

Being a successful chess coach is not always about sharing chess knowledge but the abilities to effectively communicate and gapping players to their goals.

Experience and testimonials are valuable traits as well.

One valid argument for an advanced player coaching beginners and intermediates is the empathy of going thru those stages and how to work thru them.

Hehe lol. But he can teach beginners because actually as a 2000, u have forgotten how a 400 plays. I am currently taking coaching from @chuck639

Thanks for the compliment.

Math is easy for the top of class engineering students , but I struggled and hired a peer tutor to help me pass my exams. Sure the tutor didn’t have a degree yet, but I credit him for passing my first year and that tutor went onto get his masters, PHD and classes to teach.

The 6th grade analogy is an exaggeration because 1700 is almost top 1% on this site but in terms of coaching, 200 ratings points difference is considered suffice for teaching.

At the titled level, 100 rating points difference is not abnormal to be working with somebody, especially when they have experience gaining norms.

If you see chess as playing brackets, it’s not that outlandish. 1200-1500 are intermediate, 1600-2000 are advanced, 2000-2300 expert and 2300+ titled.

Crossing 1200, means you can get to 1500. Getting to 1500 means you can to 1800 depending on the tools you are equipped with.

Chess progress isn’t rocket science, I would argue it is a blue print. It’s one reason why they categorize chess books for certain players.

It’s a pessimistic outlook but who’s needs sunshine around these places….

Anyways, I didn’t make anything up, the facts are facts. Federations around the world and FIDE set-up the playing brackets and qualifiers.

Technically almost all of us are amateurs, I don’t play chess for money, do you?

I appreciate you sharing your past experiences, I really do but it sounds you are dogmatic on this.

You are telling me FIDE’s mandate is to “make weak chess players feel good”.

”weird titles”

Sounds like you are making up conspiracy theories. Do you hear yourself?

I need a moment to digest that.

It’s not about winning, you missed the target.

Professionals get paid! We don’t.

I don’t doubt OP can bring value to others, and if he gets paid for it, all the power to him.

Another fire for you to put out officer:

Reality is, those are recognized titles and peoples goals you are insulting.

Lol, you shouldn’t call people dumb. It’s poor people skills.

LOL 1300 blitz and charges 15 an hour i could beat this bozo 5 times and a row and i only have a decent chess understanding

Chess went thru an influx of popularity, it’s been crazy.

I don’t know what this does for playing pool strength and coaching demands?

you'll just cripple peoples understanding of the game this clown mocks real coaches

I know the situation because I have a professional designation in my chosen career and it wasn’t easy to obtain. How people view me, doesn’t bother me.

Chess is just a game man. Money makes the world go around.

OP is getting paid and pursuing his passion.

i mean how far could a student go paying for overpriced lessons by a 1700? like a 800 could go to mabye 1400 at MOST but was the 105$ a week worth it? you could just do puzzles and the millions of free resources online and on YT or in chess books or lichess. last year i was a 1100 lol and now im 1880

wanting to get good is the point of a coach, right? so if the player coaching you is a 1320 blitz and has a peak of 1700 in rapid charging 15 an hour kinda feels like a scam.

speaking of coaches wtf is this 1600 chuck putting in his bio "Free coaching on a case by case basis" if hes a coach then why cant i and the 60,000 players higher rated than him all be coaches too and "pursue our passions while getting paid"
