Can I be coached please?

Okay I put you on the list (It will be 1-on-1 intensive coaching mostly, and it will start in less than 2 weeks)

The whole point of having experienced, talented coaches is to reduce the use of the engine. It’s a lot easier to understand a person’s analysis than the engine; and it’s a lot easier to learn from someone who’s at least at a humanly attainable level.

In fact, one of the first things many coaches will tell you is to analyse positions without the engine specifically, as this helps your calculation and chess understanding.

your proposed coaching is counterproductive, I’m afraid. But if you want to play high level players, I recommend you enter tournaments.

I am somewhat curious, though. What do you think you could tell me about my games that I couldn’t find out from a deep dive into even my game review? Because the engine can tell me where my mistakes are, and then I can look at the position and work out why, and presumably I can do that faster and deeper than a 1300?

Hello? You said this was a serious forum topic, but didn’t answer my question?

Yes, just_an_average_chess_player136, you can be my joke student. You're the 1st so you're head of the class. Our 1st lesson will be how taking en passant with pawns is the only right way to capture a pawn. Our 2nd lesson will be Bongcloud, the best king safety. Our 3rd lesson will be Botez Gambit, the only right way to use the queen. The 4th lesson will be trade down all your other modern pieces no matter what. The 5th lesson will be never do any puzzles. The 6th lesson will be, never think creatively. Finally, we'll have recess where we will stare out the windows & watch squirrels.

I will find leaks in your game and we'll work on it. We will dive deep in the best strategy for you once the fundamental flaws are cleared up. We will work on chess memory and future board visualisation to get you to the next level when I see you ready and comfortable for absorving the new info

My question was what can you do that I can’t? If I’m a stronger player than you, it stands to reason I can better use resources to improve my game - if you were better at it, surely you’d improve your own game too?

What, simply, do you offer as a coach that I can’t already do by myself?

Like "try to checkmate your opponent" or "play good moves and avoid playing bad moves"?

I can already notice flaws in your thinking process. No coach will offer you anything that you can't do on your own. Its just a matter of time and optimization

Why would we need a coach when we could just ask Stockfish ourselves? Not to be rude, but I think I know more about chess and how to work a chess engine than a 1300

That's not the question. The question is why would you refuse a free extra help from a 2500 chess engine that teams up with a human being for a better comprehension ?

the real question is how many people will join

What's the point, or what could be the point of that underskilled chess lessons offer?

I suppose the OP wants to see if it can, sort of, "beat the sytem" and mimic credibly enough real high level lessons with the help of a chess engine, and maybe some chatgpt thingie on top of it.

I'll spare you the endeavour: strong players will soon go "wtf???" reading your advices and comments. Then, some lower rated players may fall for it with various impacts on their chess performances.

That's all there is to say about it.
