Affordable coach. Anyone?

Sort:
Klodshans85

I've looked at the coach prices which I find a bit expensive. It's also very difficult to sort out the affordable ones (if they exists) as you can't sort the list by price. Therefore I ask here if there's anyone who would like to take a look on my games played online (correspondance) and try to find my weaknesses and teach me about them?

I think about something like:

1) You review my games (~48 of them) and analyze my weaknesses.

2) You teach me about my weaknesses in one or two sessions (live chat, skype, e-mail or whatever)

I would like if you are rated 1900+ in Blitz or Standard in here. I think about 30 USD in total, so you'll have to do it not only for the money, but also because you think it will be good fun. Feel free to suggest other learning methods than the example given above.

Are you interested, please send me a PM.

Edit: I'm not interested in you telling me which moves are bad, as my chess engine already tells me that. I'm more interested in knowing general principles I get wrong.

There are a lot of coaches on chess.com who are rated 2100+ who offer really cheap lessons, I once found some who offered it for free. http://www.chess.com/coach/michal-walentukiewicz here is one of them. good luck in your search for a chess coach.

Thanks for your input :)

At $30 per game, 48 games, some coach is going to make some ante money for poker!

Ubik42>> I don't think they shall analyze all of my games. Just enough to see some general weaknesses. I see that it sounded like "all of my games", but that was not my intention.

Yor meme is ver funny, but I don't think my offer is unfair, as I, myself would love to be a coach for <1500 under the described premises.

$0.60/game. who would bother? what kind of quality should the buyer expect?

Just wanted to note that you don't need a coach to tell you about your weakness - there are plenty of grandmasters who never had a coach whatsoever. Finding your weakness by your own might be a bit harder but quite possible. In the book "Developing Chess Talent" the authors' made 22 technical questions for the analysing process which make you easier to understand your strengths and weaknesses. Good luck whatever you will do!

Arkhimeedes>> Thanks for your reply. You are right about that many people became very good on their own. Booby Fischer is an excellent example. I will take a look on your recommended book. However, I will still try out a coach

Hi, I was wondering if you've had any luck finding a coach for what you were looking for. I'm also looking for one to send some of my games to (fewer than 10) and get some feedback, even by email.

No. This thread did not lead to any coach signing up by them selves. So I guess I have to search the coaching list intensively.
