I am bad at chess - I have cash and I want to learn!

I have had a few accounts, and I generally range between 400-600... Needless to say I am pretty bad. Generally speaking the slower I play the better I get. I have a 1400 friend IRL that I can on occasion beat if we play without time limits.

I am not looking for a coach that can boast their own skill levels. I would like a coach that is results driven and has a proven record of taking sub 1000s getting positive growth.

Share with me your STUDENTS most recent successes and you might get yourself a new one!

Check out my youtube channel, if you like my way of explaining things I will be the best chess teacher you've had. My rating is higher than shown here, because I just started with a new account on chess.com

Purtroppo ancora non sono eccellente con l'inglese, ma se per caso tu capissi e parlassi l'italiano... beh io sarei il tuo istruttore perfetto! Non lo dico con presunzione ma sono le recensioni a dimostrarlo.
Ti invito comunque a seguire il mio blog dove nei prossimi mesi pubblicherò articoli interessati

Sorry Francesco,
I only speak English. I am sure i could translate this, but the nature of my request is for a live tutor and this would be an obvious language barrier

What about me? You didn't even react to it. There is no language barrier there.

I can teach you EXACTLY how to think during the game (opening, middlegame and endgame). Your chess understanding will never be the same and you will improve a lot. I charge €20/h, but if you can’t afford too many lessons, don’t worry. I can teach you a lot in an hour. Here to help if you are interested.

If you want to study by yourself, read ‘Logical Chess’. It is really instructive book. You have it on youtube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eTB7oHeRgM&list=PLUrgfsyInqNa1S4i8DsGJwzx1Uhn2AqlT

Dear Borty,

I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you.  Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analyzing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is so good or bad.

You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals. 

In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.

I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games! 

If you are interested about my students' improvement, you can take a look at my forum where you can see proofs. https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-lessons/feedbacks-from-my-services

if you have cash the quickest way is to just upgrade your account and watch endless lessons. They truly do help.
