What do you look like in a short skirt?

Im new here, Trying something new. Why do I see a bunch of lower rated players offering coaching services? On icc they must be titled. Why on earth would anyone take lessons from a 1400?
Look you don`t have to go say "patzer', there`s no reason to title your thread a insult. You are very infensive in doing so. Not to mention your off, 1400 is a good rating because it`s above average.
Yeah, but if he doesn't try to make people whose rating is currently below his feel as bad as he does when he compares himself to those with a higher rating, how is he supposed to feel better about himself?
Those are the patzers. The ones who try to put others down.
And when they fall off their highknight, worrying about someone else's livelihood will be the least of their busybodying concerns, won't it?
Just stirring the pot a bit instead of studying chess, 'cause at the end of the day, there are those who could give a rat's about what others think of their current rating on a website or anything for that matter.
And no, the first one's not free. Your invoice has been sent.

I agree. There are enough online resources available for a kid to get pretty good, if they've got any talent at all. Parents who would waste money on a chess coach for an average kid, have no common sense, whatsoever.

I have seen profiles here, where the person says they give simuls, won a few open tourneys and say their writing. But when I look them up on the USCF site they are 1600-1800 and did not get the results they said they did. I think its to bad chess.com allows some ppl to burn new players just because they paid for the Diamond membership....money, money, money

Put your brother back on, he made more sense.

theres a guy who's rated about 1500 on youtube, his name is the BackYardChessProfessor and I think he's a pretty good teacher!

I remember reading about a famous Russian fictional character who was chess teacher and he knew all the terminology but could not play wortha spit. Perhaps one of our Russian friends could enlighten us...

Ostap Bender.
I taught myself to play, as did all my chess pals. There wasn't a lot of money flying about for kids to employ coaches. Whatever happened to "self-taught"?
