Economic and professional chess lessons

@krasnaya I think you're being overly harsh. Saying "we will learn" is fairly common in educational marketing. Maybe it's not ideal, but it's not like this FM is the first person to do it. Moreover, saying something is a "masterclass" is not exactly wrong, he has been officially designated a 'master' even if one of a lower rank. Again, it's all marketing for a guy to make his living. You may be able to get better services for free elsewhere but many of us live in areas of the world where there's no players at that rank nearby.

Criticism of the price may be fair, or even if you know a better course recommend it, but the guy is just trying to make a living. Honestly, just ignore it if it bothers you. It's not a crime, it's just capitalism.

@njuguna To improve in blitz I recommend you to study concepts about middlegames and endgames to play stronger. In blitz, we play faster but mainly you must apply quickly the concepts you know. If you learn pawn structures, rook endgames, strategy... you will be stronger and practicing in blitz you will play faster and better.

@krasnaya -Each member asks their doubts and suggests ideas to learn chess. The community is evolving each day and change the learning process according to the requirements of the members. This makes an active and modern chess community. Of course, I work many hours to keep the community active and offer them a good content to progress in chess, and of course, it's not free. Sure that you don't work for free, me either :)

-About the rating, there are grandmasters who don't know how to teach chess and much less work with children, although they play extremely well and better than me, of course. What are you finding: learn chess with a coach or hire them to play? Ask them if they've got several students in the top 15 of the world cadets of different countries like me. This is the real curriculum of a chess coach.

-If you think that asking some masters someday in your club is the same than all the things you get with my services, you are very wrong, I offer much more :) I train with an own methodology which is giving amazing results, it's a training plan explained step by step and you see how you are evolving. In addition to the online academy with videos, private FB group to ask and a modern online technology.

-If we train chess, should it be boring? I don't think so. There are different ways to work. There are activities like go to the gym, go to the cinema, train chess... that if you do it in a group is more fun. I offer this possibility and people have more motivation working together and knowing other chess players who want to learn also.

-And of course, I tell it clearly, I'm offering my services here and are not free. With me, people get results, get their goals much faster. You can improve by yourself for free for a year or work with me and get the same results in 2 months, but of course, paying the service :) When people are tired of losing time trying to improve in their clubs just playing games and asking some doubts to their chess mates, they come to me to improve chess seriously and finally they get results. You are paying to get the goals faster with the professional help of someone who has done the steps you need. If you don't want to pay, it's your choice and I respect it :) If someday you want to join, you will be welcome ;)

FM Alberto Chueca

Hey Frequent Master I challenge you to a correspondence game you decide if it is rated or casual. 5 days per move

sorry guys but I have a coach of higher rating (IM) that still actively plays competitive tournament chess today and is young. I happen to make plenty of progress but I must say that I laugh at the idea of having a large community built. That idea is awful as all it'll be is the coach giving sound advice and that advice being tainted by dumb and dumber as they try asking each other for advice on this community. That is why chess needs to be a one on one coaching experience and that is how you truly improve. For example you don't see a private tutor coming to you with a community of others who are needing help as they teach you, they give you their dedicated time, as for this private fb group stuff I laugh even more there is plenty of groups on facebook for chess already that will give that same advice, and as fr charging for such nonsense I must say you are a crook, youre like those carpetbaggers of the 19th century early 20th century. I advice all who actually see this post to avoid this snake oil salesman and go with my coach IM Aronian1111 and I assure you that you will be far more pleased than with this guy. This fake will only steal all of your time and cash as you struggle to learn, and all of his true time will go to his posterboys that he'll use to keep marketing a service that he would never give to his star players, but ask yourself this what if he didn't have them to boast about, remove them from this add and ask what do you really get? A FM that sounds arrogant and trying to build a community and get me involved in it to likely brag he has x amount of community members to get even more people? Next time focus on the quality of what you can offer your potential students and not gimmicks.

Wow what a bunch of ignorant edgelords. FM Alberto Chueca doesn't sound arrogant. Saying that your product has value is not arrogance. Rejecting hateful presumptions about your program is not arrogant. Presenting your achievements as a coach is. not. arrogance.

I get that you aren't interested in his services, but what you are doing here is just disgusting bottom-of-the-barrel attacks on a man who is just advertising his service.

"learning communities are awful" LOL
You say that Mr. Chueca being "only" an FM limits his ability to teach (wrong), but in the same breath you, a lousy 1800, are arrogant enough to tell US, the community of lichess, how to IMPROVE?
That's rich, by your own logic.

Then you call him a crook, a carpetbagger, a fake, and a thief of our time.

You people are nuts, arrogant, and hateful.

Mind you I never said he was a bad player himself, nor did I say I know how to help you improve, I simply recommended a superior coach. Lastly, I'm only a 1800 on Lichess mind you that I was a 1900 near 2,000 but had bad games on here, yet I manage to give my coach a challenge each game and have defeated him in the past and again that's at a IM level, of course it's been about 100 games since that happened, and my coach now knows my style rather well to not fall for such tricks however I do manage to force him to be at his best vs me or he'll get into trouble, my lowish rating is due to simply me playing players that don't make strong moves at times and I get too distracted by such random moves, trying to understand their plans in mid-game whereas vs my coach I know the threats as they are logical. I have played other IM's and NM's and they all compliment my play on the board and say with time I'll be at their level and I always reply, thanks, and I'll always show no fear to any GM but I'll fear every 1200 as honestly I can never win against them, the moves are just too unsound and I lose interest, focus and end up making careless mistakes unless I'm against a strong player. Either that or I just get confused by how they attempt to play.

So your rating not being higher is due to mistakes. Understandable. That's about as much as you said that I can sympathize with.

You just wanted to recommend someone else that you thought is a superior coach?

You gotta learn some respect. If you want to advertise, you do it in the proper spot. You don't barge into someone else's thread about promoting their product to promote yours (or your coach's) That's inappropriate to say the least.
And to say that your coach is superior is also quite disrespectful and inappropriate, not to mention dumb -- you have never been this FM's student. How would you know?

perhaps because one is a FM the other is a IM and soon to be GM would you really argue that a GM is not superior in knowledge to a FM? That is simplistic at best to know, as for everything else, I think its my duty to warn others of a snake oil fake like this man is and instead recommend a better service. I gave my reasons as to why his method will fail and is a waste of time and money. I think plenty of people can understand them as well if they think critically about this man's offer. I also argue that in real life if you know that say a certain mechanic shop is bad would you not warn others of their bad quality work, and inform the public, or would you immorally allow anyone to go there even if you could warn them? I choose to warn others, trust me I know what this guy is attempting as it actually happens already with GM's in America overcharging for services. For example look to Ben Finegold and how he hosts classes but look at the price also. I find that to be a robbery because yes while you will improve you must remember the price per hour he charges is more than even a lawyer charges, and the improvement made in that hour isn't worth his costs, but then why does he charge so much? Simple he has to keep the St.Louis chess club going and thats where a lot of the funds go even though he streams and gets donations as well he wants more, which is exploiting his position and all his students. This FM is doing the same but smaller and cheaper but the quality is the same poor when compared to a true coach that cares and doesn't price his services so high that you have to do one hour weekly sessions vs what I do $20 hour daily sessions so that I may improve quickly and learn each day far more than what he would offer me as I get an individual training plan and homework tailored to my needs, practice games, evaluations of my personal games and someone who's reasonable at all times to assist my progress. I Bet my soul that this guy would never go the extent of quality that my coach does and it shows with his gimmicks not true coaching.

I love how people that hardly know the chess rules are trying to bully an FM. FM is by all definition a master title. Can he call his lessons masterclasses? Of course he can. Get your heads outta your asses.

Fuck.You.All.
An FM who is a coach simply tries to promote himself and to help people. Players normally at one point decide whether they will be coaches or players. Being a coach is a very nice job - helping out people to make their dreams come true. And yet, some fucking jerks arrive and insult and mock him. In conclusion, I simply agree with lovlas.
