I used to teach others.... I got tired one person didn't like to castle because it put his king into the corner and he wanted to centralise it... I decided to teach myself to get better...

I have 1 position available, you must have natural ability, time management, positive attitude, motivation and have a chess.com rating in blitz of no less than 2000. If you do not possess these attributes, do not forward any request. No matter what your reason of validity, you will not be considered.

Just message me here at chess.com 

Everyone else, I just can't help all of you. Goodluck to all.

George, do you deliberately lose games just so you can relate to the people you are trying to help?

He doesn't have to deliberately lose games. He's on this level, and because of this, he can relate to players he coaches.

Ruby-Fischer

That would be more of a kind of peer support thing than coaching

He's a generous guy  Smile

People play chess for different reasons.

I think a 1400 could possibly be more efective at teaching people how to have fun playing chess than a titled player.

Hell, I'd like to be a stronger player, but if it interferes with my enjoyment of the game, I'd rather wallow in my mediocrity. For me, games at my current level, are fun.

I'm a 1400. Any young women out there looking for a father figure, I'll coach for free.

Succinctly put ; if you're Electra, I'm a lecturer.

Good tongue twister, ne c'est-pas?


Ah, and a beautiful bit of French thrown in for free!!

You border on availability of me allowing you to be coached by myself, personally.

Do not wreck your chances.

Why don't you have a chess.com coach page?

One of the perks of becoming a master (or at least expert?) is obtaining the right to become a chess coach or author if one wishes to.  There's this unwritten rule that says you need to be at least an expert to coach, and at least an NM to author chess books.  Titles are a stamp of credibility that tells the world you know what you're talking about.  Would you buy a science book authored by an English major?  Neither would I.

funny how terrible footballers make good coaches.

Ok, but I hope your not building my hopes up, only to cruelly dash them again.
