Y’all should coach people for free

Ya for me 850 is the cutoff where I only have one or two things to say to them per game. 850 is where ppl are pretty good but have a terrible endgame from lack of endgames played

That’s where it starts getting too positional for me and I’m unqualified

If ur 1500 coaching an 850 would be no problem

For some reason, I am the opposite. Even if I am losing I have a great endgame, which I find strange because of how I play in opening and middlegame.

Coaching an 850 rated player as an 800 rated player? EDIT: The poster has happily blocked me from posting so I will instead edit this post to tell everyone to click on his profile to check his rating

Not 800 bro. Get blocked.

Check my rating I d g a f

I don't think you can play someone if there is a block between the players.

I d g a f what any of y’all think about anything

I’m just telling u guys u can coach people right now and if u disagree I just think ur wrong y’all aren’t gonna convince me of anything

I don’t know why a free coach gets so much flack from all you cool chess people

I could coach for free, but I can't find anyone below my rating that wants coaching.

What, aren't you below 850?
I remember 850....I don't think that endgames are the only thing that need a lot of practice. I mean for that matter, at my level I don't think endgames are the only thing that my opponents and I have serious weaknesses in.

While I do disagree with many aspects of this thread, I agree that some of the principles that you are talking about are important, and that beginners will derive great benefit from them. At lower levels, simple habits such as these can make a huge difference. So if you're saying that teaching them such things helps a great deal, I believe you. Seemingly simple principles can be a huge unlock at that level.

I remember that llama often talks about how sometimes lower rated players give better advice than he does because they better understand the specific obstacles that the lower rated players face -- seeing that leads him to adjust his advice better for next time. I've had this experience too, where one time I liked the advice given by a ~1300 way better than mine. So the idea that one can't learn from anyone who isn't, idk, say "Expert" level in chess, is indeed simply not true.

That said, I definitely agree with other commenters that there are stark limitations to what lower rated players can offer and it's important for them to be aware of that. For that reason, I think it's definitely risky to call oneself a "coach". Players at idk, my level and below will make tactical and positional misevaluations frequently enough that they may not have the best quality input in many positions in games. Therefore what they can help with definitely may not coincide with the player's all-around needs, which is what a true "coach" would be paid to do. As other posters have mentioned, there is a serious threat of encouraging bad habits as well since the stronger player is quite likely to still have some serious bad habits before they make it to a higher level. (I'll say that about myself 100%, so yeah, definitely for, idk, 1500 or whatever other ratings are being proposed here..)

u guys are all wrong u guys. ur wrong cause am right and am smart. 800 elo nearly 900. ur all so wrong and ur all noob cause am 800

Interesting. Maybe some people enjoy winning v much weaker opponents; I don't particularly care for it except insofar as it lets me practice conversion and maybe have fun promoting pawns to knights and bishops (yep, I can be annoying, but against lower rated players I ask for permission first.) Not so sure about "solidify ur own knowledge" though. Yes, it can be a good exercise to you to find the best moves in a position that you know to be better for you. At the same time....it can also be tempting to get "lazy" and not find the best moves, just moves that are "decent".....and that's not good. Another negative is that weaker players often don't see your mistakes and blunders.....which is bad, because it makes it harder for you to notice them. Okay, fine, if you analyze the game afterwards then maybe not so bad, but still, stronger players will make you suffer for your mistakes. All things considered, I think that it's probably best for your game if you mix in games v weaker opponents with games with people your level and above.

Ya I’m a a coach. I’m not so sold on chess and I’m not trying to improve. I just want to stomp people that’s what’s fun for me. I also coach the heck out of them and they boost like crazy if they can take it. It’s mutual benefit. I do t get any better tho but I’m not trying to I’m not willing to put in the work to improve rn

I really could care less what any of of you guys have to say about this just telling y’all u can coach people right now it’s chill. You don’t have to wait until your 2500 to coach a 100

I mean, I'm up to coach. I do it IRL and on chess.com for free.
