well considering you posted the wiki page of a rapper I was a little conserned.
Defences to the Parham Attack
Sort:
Jet, I doubt you've figured out, but for slang there's this site called Urban Dictionary.
Not as ridiculous as ChristianSoldier teaching.
I tried to look up Jakario's FIDE rating on fide.com, but there is no listing for Omara, Jakario. Either he is using an alias on chess.com or he doesn't have a fide rating.
Jakario, all of your games are in the opening, which you are allowed to use databases in.

"Nope, Bernard Parham has a secret defense to his own attack with the black pieces. He doesn't publish it though because if everyone knew the Parham would be busted. He'll sell it for $1,250,000 though. It's a comprehensive 942 page refutation to the Parham attack. Of course, nobody will ever figure it out though -- no even computers because they don't understand the Matrix." -Sungolian
Btw, Bobby Fischer figured out a sucessful defense too, but he's dead...
So Bernard Parham is just as good as Bobby Fischer? That seems about right.
According to Samsch, Fischer is as good as Parham, I didn't say it, Samsch did.

no that was a humorous little bit why would you sell the refutation of an opening that no one is going to pay for because the opening is so bad it doesn't need refuting. and the system is so bad it fails once queens are traded. get a brain dude
Jetfighter, are you telling me to get a brain?

yes I am telling you to get a brain because you take everything that people say in your favor as serious and everything against it as garbage. you need to get more than a brain, you need to get a reality check. listen to the song You Can't Always Get What You Want. that might help you realize that you are wrong and need to lighten up on comparing one of the greatest chess players ever Fischer and claiming the idiot Parham is on equal footing. Fischer could crush Parham as Black against the Parham Attack.
Or normal people who figured out the Parham is a perfectly fine opening to play.
I've never met a person in my life who makes $200 an hour. Anyone who makes that kind of money (a small fraction of the population) is almost certainly getting a yearly salary and not an hourly wage.
Teaching the Parham should cost around $ 750 per hour.
If one is stupid enough to play this thing, then he is most likely naive enough to pay such sums to "learn it properly"... 
I did mention that a fraction of the people in America DO make that much money (just not the ones I know), but they don't make it hourly. The people making that money are salaried or living off the fruit of investments. My point was that that level of income is rare (less that 2% according to 2005 data) and Jakario1977 here should know that not everyone in America is a wealthy financier.
Intuitively I would guess that the percentage of people interested in chess lessons that fall into that income bracket is even lower. Plus, you could be training with elite GMs for the prices he is asking.

okay some of us do make much more money (private doctors in Hong Kong make up to 400k/month), but those guys are freaking trained like crazy 16 hours a day for over 10 years (6 years normal doc + 4 years or more specialist), and have to rise through the ranks and build confidence on customers etc etc, while carrying a great responsibility.
Seriously, a 1000 rated player has practically 0 qualifications to teach chess, and should not be earn more than $10 per hour.
thats what I have been trying to tell you one time here.
Ok I thought you were being serious. sorry. there was no evidence that it was sarcasm or another lower form of humor.
