Dear Sir Alberto Chueca Forcen,
i do not want to start a heated argument but some points you made should not be let gone unanswered, in my opinion:
you said:
> In the Rebel Alliance (
www.albertochueca.com/the-rebel-> alliance/), we are creating an amazing chess community
> where we join to learn chess.
Sorry, but: no! "We" means effectively "you" and you are not "creating an amazing community", you want to sell your services to customers. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing bad in this itself. But it is wrong (and, in case you are aware of that, dishonest) to call that endeavour anything else than - marketing. The grocery store down there doesn't "create an amazing community" for food either, they just want to sell their produce.
A "community" implies the concept of mutuality and you don't want to make people learn from each other, you just want to teach them and be paid for that. If so - then say so.
> Each masterclass we learn new concepts
Now, even if we silently replace "we" with "you", because obviously you are the teacher and should already know the concepts you are teaching, there is still the term "masterclass". I attended actually to master classes after finishing my studies at the Vienna Conservatory and i know what the term means. I don't want to belittle your achievements in chess, your current rating of 2278 (according to
http://ratings.fide.com) is surely quite impressive for an amateur, but you don't have what it takes to give master classes in chess. In my club are 5 people with a rating similar to yours and they share their knowledge, should i ask them, for free every Friday when the club meets for free play. I do not play in any big club at all, we are playing Germanys third league and are in constant danger of being relegated to fourth.
As it happens one of my closer friends is a FIDE senior trainer and GM. Now, he gives what i would call "master classes", but neither does he even call it this but often when we talk about chess instead of boasting his master status he rather bemoans that his age (about 50) is making him "very weak" - his current rating is ~2530. You might think about this to get your playing strength in perspective.
> We are learning and enjoying much!
And this is the last thing: learning chess is like learning any other complex skill: hard and tedious work and often frustrating. I never really studied chess at all but when i had my musical training it was exactly the same. One doesn't "enjoy it much" to pick up what it takes to really get good. Much more often one simply relies on stubbornness and pure will power to get through the downs and still keep up the necessary level of work.
Yes, there are rewarding moments too, but "the joy of learning" is mostly happening at the basic and amateur level, where progress can easily be made and moments of achievement are plenty. (As you sure know to get from 1200 to 1300 is a lot easier and faster done than to get from 2200 to 2300 and to get from 2700 to 2800 is perhaps even more work.)
So, basically, you are a (very good) amateur trying to get other (less progressed) amateurs to buy your services to make them somewhat better amateurs. Again, there is no problem with that but "masterclass" is a rather pompous name for such an endeavour.
kind regards
krasnaya
