Anyone willing to coach me for free?

@tpr: This satisfaction is the benefit.

I’ll coach you.

First homework, solve 300 positions from Alburt’s training book or 300 free initial positions from chess tactics pro app. Or better solve BOTH if you want extra credit :)

Then solve them all again, and again, up to 10x until you can name the solution instantly to each puzzle. Watch some YouTube’s on your favorite openings, and go over all your games with computer to find mistakes, ideas, and improvements. Read a standard general book like “How to reassess your chess” or some other book you like more. DO puzzle rush daily, and go over the ones you missed.

Your second homework will be to increase puzzles to 1000. Then 2000.

You’ll be rated 2000 on here by then at the very least. Probably a lot higher.

Fisher was mentored by a couple of strong chess players when he was a pre-teen. It wasn't formally coaching nor was cash involved, but he was far from on his own.

Yes, Carmine Nigro was Fischer's main tutor, but more than a tutor who introduced him to tournament play and that's a whole different thing regarding sponsorship and supportiveness, besides chess learning, would Fischer have improved so much if it wasn't for his own spirit to improve? A person's knowledge has a boundary and certainly coaches can't push all the theory in a student's mind but only guide him through themes to improve, the work is mainly done by the learner, if you don't do your homework don't expect the teacher to have mercy on you, there's a reason why Fischer was Fischer, who devoted so much of his life to reading chess and even learning russian to learn from the soviet literature, the improvement was certainly of his own so the improvement is based on how much one wants to improve, couldn't this idea be easier to grasp? Chess is an individual experience after all.

@ModernNoob

there are some coaches who teach for 5-10$ its nothing if you are from western/central europe or north america.

Kusokosla,#12,suggested you good things. Probably you found your coach xD.

You can try one of these as well, if that helps

Adding one more for you, www.chessable.com/tactics-time-1/course/21108/ ^^

I would suggest that, for people like the OP that would like free coaching, a sort of coaching ladder be instituted. A 2200 coaches an 1800, who coaches a 1400, who coaches a 1000 player. If you contribute by coaching lower-rated players, you are eligible to be coached yourself. All we would need is a master with some free time (no pun intended).

@ibishop I give away a lot of free material at chesspathways.com. I know it's not personalized coaching, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect any titled player to do that for free. No one looks for free piano lessons or tennis lessons from highly-ranked people in those fields, right? I'm not sure why some people think chess is an exception!

Your "ladder" idea sounds cool, though!
