Chess coach
Sort:
If my coach's rating is only 1300-1400 does that mean i can't become a great player of over 1500 rating?

Read a book. Follow top tournaments and / or play over historical matches.

Play long games, preferably over the board (OTB) tournament games.
A 1300-1400 coach will be able to tell you some of the basics. I don't recommend paying for it though. If you're going to pay a coach, pay a much stronger player than 1300-1400.
I've seen some of your games and you blunder a lot, even in long time controls. I don't think it's a good time to hire a coach. First improve your attention, otherwise you just gonna waste money.
Anyway, a 1300-1400 player isn't qualified to be a coach at all.
Once you reach your coachs' level of 1400, then get a better coach. You don't need a very high level chess coach if you are a beginner. And it will take a long time for your rating to reach 1400. You also need to find a good chess manual to study as well, the best one at the moment is called the 'chess players Bible'. It contains numerous chess puzzles for you to solve as well. I would act out the chess puzzles on a real chess board though so you remember solving the puzzles better. It is like when you were at school learning, you didn't just learn from your teachers but from text books as well.
