Calling all coaches!

Well hello everyone!

Announcement!

After playing chess on YouTube for 700 days, I am taking a new approach. I am reviving the Coaching Series on my channel. If you are a chess coach, and would like to be featured on this series, please drop your chess.com ID and a little message on this post or in the comments section. While I can't commit to paying for the coaching sessions, I will be highlighting the coaches on my videos in the event that subscribers would like to schedule time for a fee. I'll be accepting submissions for another week or two before I start scheduling the sessions, and hopefully by May we'll have our next Coaching Series installment. Thanks again for everyone's support.

Looking forward to this next chapter.

-Patrick

def excited that you are going to seek out assistance on your journey. this game is so hard. wish I could be more of help but you are def better than I am but hopefully I'll end up in one of your vids someday. Either way I'm glad you are keeping the journey up. heard lots of rumors that you were considering not but I guess those weren't true.

using a coach but not paying them... so sick of these freeloading "youtubers".

You will never make it past 1600, let alone 2000 🤡🤡

i had people tell me the same thing at his level, yet i did ithappy.png so can he and anyone who really wants to. try to spread more positivity! we as a chess community should support each other. getting practice as a coach can be a helpful tool before charging people anyways and nobody would be forced to help him if they didnt want to

I’m no coach but this sounds like a pretty awesome idea. I’ll check out your series.

Hey Patrick. Its me Jason. We've talked a few times in comments on Youtube. 700 is pretty amazing! Not sure what ELO you are hoping for. I hover around 1800 but willing to give you some ideas. happy.png

11 year old nm faustino oro reached 2430 after playing for only 4 years. I believe that if you receive coaching for 2 years you can improve dramatically. Great idea Patrick.

I'm rooting for you, Patrick. I only got into chess recently when your videos popped up in my recommendations last summer, sparking a newfound interest in a game I never thought I'd embrace. As a middle-aged person who's played only a handful of games until now, I'm excited to prove that even an old dog can learn new tricks. Your passion and insights remind me that it's never too late to start something new. Let's keep pushing our boundaries and growing on this journey!

Good luck Patrick! I'll be watching the series and hopefully with the help of a coach you'll be able to reach 2000 playhand

Hey Patrick, stumbled across your stuff recently and have been watching. I am interested in trying out some coaching. I’ve never done it before, but I am decently strong and would be interested in giving it a whirl.

I think that individual training, without outside access, will be effective. Especially studying the opening part.

Hey man this sounds amazing! Although I am not a coach, I would love to help you out in climbing! When we played together I was around 1600 and now i'm about 1850! Not a huge jump but still a jump either way.
