This will be your final question - answer correctly and I will take you to the zshengosiwwnna mountain where you will be trained to become a brand new chess player. "IM AN AGGRESSIVE PLAYER I PLAY ATTACK OPENING WHAT IS THE BEST OPENING TO GET STRON ATTK AS WHITE?"
Nope-Bribery!

Very good yung grasshoppa, we journey to mountain tomorrow. Your very first homework lesson, meditate for 5 hours.
Yep, starting now.
So, I have just arrived at Camp I at Mount Everest using a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. But you are nowhere to be found.

My son is 6 years old. His rating is close to 800 after 6 months tournament and less a year learning chess. He won 3 kids with 1000 rating already. And also beat some people at chess.com with 950-1100 rating. I want to plan on when is the time for people hire private coach for their young kid. I don't know if he is really talented in chess but he is very into chess. And sometimes can memorize details of the games. Recently we have pretty intensive chess class. But I want to know in what kind of situation that we should have private coach to teach him? Cost is an issue to us because he is in private school to fit his school life need, so if we don't need to hire private coach too early then it will be better. Or we may need to plan to pull him out from private school early. Thank you.
I think any time is a good time for private coaching as long as the kid is willing. BUT, if chess coaching cost is an issue (which I take it to mean that it causes some amount of financial stress), then it is never a good time for coaching.
Therefore, my advice is not to hire a coach until its cost becomes negligible for you.
Perhaps he'd want to come to camp!

Never.
At that age, the kid will feel like he HAS TO WIN if he has a coach. That is unhealthy. I once met a great would-be teacher, one of the best in the US once. However, he refused because of the above reasons. I am 1750 OTB and have never had a coach. Oh, and he also recommends NO opening theory until "2500" (though I started studying it once I got to 1400)
What an odd teacher!
This worked... in the 1980s, when there was no internet.
Here is something to do you need to have him associate the game of chess with something. For example when I think of chess I think of battle siege and I hive each piece a personality, this could allow your kid to understand chess a bit better.
Ok , but first im going to need you to answer a question I give to all of my students. What is the best opening move as white on move 1 ?
