Slip a note to the Pro player. " I hold your cat hostage."
how do you beat a pro at chess???

Slip a note to the Pro player. " I hold your cat hostage."
Or "I know what you did last summer".

A 1600 can TRAINED a few months before an expected game with a 2000 under an expert coach. He stop playing for a while in order his rise in chess skills won't reflect in his ratings. When the day comes he plays a 2000, he has better fighting chance.

I recommend having the pro use carved beets. Then when he's not looking, eat his queen, then say you have no idea where his queen went. Repeat for other pieces as needed.

Best.

*standing ovation*

people are always looking for short cuts. you have only played 20 games since you joined this web site 2+ months ago. That is hardly any games at all. Do you know all the rules of the game yet, including the special pawn capture called en passant and how to castle on both sides of the Board ? You first must master the rules before you can progress.
You are yet to feel the sledgehammer come down from a 1200 player, let alone a 2200 player. Do you think you can tell the difference ?........probabaly not.
Play another 1,000 games and then ask the question again.
Thats true

it took me going down 700+ point in the beginning (5-6 months ago) to get to where i am at my current blitz rating. my improvement was fast because i study chess 3-4 hours a day...

Dear Chessfriend,
Due to this coronavirus situation, I lowered my prices. Instead of 30 EUR or 35 USD /hour, my new pupils get a discount, so the new prices are 25 EUR or 30 USD/hour. Don't hesitate to send me a message.

I love teaching chess and it is very important for me that both of us enjoy the lessons beside the hard work. I have pupils almost all the levels from beginners to advanced players (1100-2200 ELO).
Why should you choose me?

Don't play chess against a chess pro... play chess against your golf pro!
