have you seen his My good games and positions posts, he puts random games and "traps" that are full of blunders by both sides and then says they are educational!
Whats with all of the low rated coaches on Chess.com???
Sort:
I'm low rated, try me also.

I think choosing the word "coach" is stating, "I know I can't teach, but I want to help."
They want to find a study buddy. I post advice sometimes, and then I see a higher rated player post something else. Does that invalidate my help? Perhaps, the person I am "helping" can benefit from what I said and from what the other person posted. I can benefit from the higher rated player also.
I doubt these people, including myself, are looking for students or someone to actually train. We are simply suggesting moves or study tips.
I would think in the grand scheme of things, this is the ideal method to learning. A 2000 rated player doesn't want to get bogged down in teaching something to a 1300 rated player that a 1500+ player could tell them. Work your way up. I would think a 2000+ rated player would want to wait for players to reach 1700 unless they have a strong desire and patience to work with lower rated players.
but that isn't what sebleb does, he fills his idenity with lies, says that everyone thinks he is the best coach in chess.com and then acts like he is a cirtified coach and doesn't accept help for higher rated players like me, instead he banns them!
Many a trade or industry has been being eroded by dilettantes nowadays.
As an example, there happens to be a whole slew of individuals offering "translation services" the quality of which is only marginally better than that of commonly available machine translation online services (and then there are those outrageous enough to charge monetary requitals for actually sending online service machine translations to the gullible they manage to find).
A complete lack of a sense of embarassment apparently is even much greater bliss than ignorance by itself.

I gather that crooks and dabblers who are successful at procuring the fleeceable prey they are on the outlook for are to be deemed being of great potential.

It's all relative. No one is a crook.
No one is a crook??? What kind of feel goodie bubble world do you live in?.
For a nominal fee, I'm willing to show my students how to completely give up in life.

It might have some sense if what he meant was "no-one is a crook from their own point of view".
everyone is a crook! Even NIXON !
Haha. It's interesting how his desperate "I'm not a crook!" outcry resulted in him mostly coming to mind whenever the term pops up even many decades later - speak of backfire extraordinaire.

Actually, Nixon was not a crook. He was amoral, power hungry, wholly corrupt, and the epitome of evil. He brought the worst sort into politics, as Hunter S. Thompson explained so clearly in Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie and many other texts. Some of his proteges continue to sully subsequent administrations, and indeed they are largely responsible for the most pressing problems today.
But, Nixon was no crook. He did have crooks on the payroll. Some of them went to jail, and then they became Christian missionaries and talk show hosts.
If you performed queenside castling in a crooked manner, you'd end up with a c-rook.

In regards to the topic, of course.
I think it depends on your learning style, or your student's learning style. To say that somebody has to be a certain rating to be a coach is ridiculous. With Houdini 3 at your side, rating should never be an issue.
