Ever thought about shaking up your chess game with a coach? In this video, I'm dive into the world of Fiverr chess coaches with radically different price tags: one at $5 and the other at $50. Hold onto your pawns, because we've got "am_quality," a new coach with a rating of 2000, squaring off against the legendary "Katopipia." With a colossal 243 5-star reviews, a seat on the Georgian National Chess team, and a spotlight in The Washington Post, Katopipia means business. I hired both coaches for a one-hour session to analyze one of my OTB games. Will these coaches' expertise really match the gap in their fees? Let's find out!

Many teachers who are IMs and GMs charge less than 1500-1600 teachers. I work as a Chess teacher now and one of my personal former teachers was a prodigy IM as a child charging only 25-30$ (as an adult) despite his exceptional dedication and talent not only at Chess but also at teaching and he had a degree specifically in Chess instruction. In general in the teaching world price comes down more so to how you market yourself and how much people _feel_ like they are getting value. I knew a young FM who was about 17 years old who struggled to find students despite very low prices, largely because it's harder to be perceived as high value at such a young age. A Harvard degree or a certain appearance matters much more than you'd imagine in Chess teaching.

@isaakvandaalen3899 10 месяцев назад

Honestly $5 coach impressed me he had great advice I think. Even if some of his comments might've differed from the $50 coach I think that probably comes more down to stylistic approaches to the game more than anything else. Like how he said openings aren't super important (If you're not an IM/GM I would be inclined to agree), while the $50 coach gave you a crash-course in theory (which makes sense given her chess background).

@joelcollander1973 10 месяцев назад

Id say that openings starts to matter once you hit like 2000 or so, like by then playing without at least like 8-10 moves of theory feels dangerous, espessialy in shorter games like 10|0, obviously depth may have to be higher or lover depending on the opening but yeah.

@isaakvandaalen3899 10 месяцев назад

@@joelcollander1973 True, I mean I'm only 1600 and while I don't really know much theory, I can at least comfortably navigate most of the common openings 8-10 moves deep. My point isn't that you should ignore theory entirely, but rather it's that unless you're really trying to compete at the highest levels of play, you'll probably be better served studying tactics or endgames moreso than learning 15-20 moves in the Grunfeld.

@eliasvonbrille 10 месяцев назад

@@isaakvandaalen3899 Well obviously. Honestly you need only the complete basics up to about 2100 or so. I hardly know any opening moves at all in countless lines and it's totally fine. A coach that give you a run down of opening theory is a really bad coach in my opinion especially on lower levels. There are countless ways of simply looking up opening theory from world class players. You don't need a coach for that. It's simply wasted time. And that's even when ignoring that Openings are very far down the importance list below 2000 rating.

@isaakvandaalen3899 10 месяцев назад

@@eliasvonbrille I actually slightly disagree. While it's true that it's easy enough to look up theory these days, I think that getting an actual coach, who plays those moves at a very high level, to explain those moves and the purpose / plans behind them is still a very valuable resource. "Looking up theory" these days is as easy as turning on an engine and looking at best moves, but actually applying those moves takes more that just knowledge that they're good, it takes real understanding of your goals in the position, which is insight that a coach can offer. Of course, I do agree that any coach shouldn't *only* give you theoretical lines, especially at lower levels, and that detailed analysis of your games is probably more valuable. Openings aren't the be all and end all of Chess, on that we agree, but I do believe that they are important and to a certain extent you need to have good openings in order to climb elo efficiently. I think where a lot of people (especially low elo) go wrong is that they think "good openings" means memorising 15-20 move lines when what it really means is understanding general plans and pawn structures.

@eliasvonbrille 10 месяцев назад

@@isaakvandaalen3899 "Looking up theory" to me is having a Grandmaster like Daniel Naroditsky or even Super Grandmasters explain all the Ideas in depth. Not only do I not see how a coach could be better, I don't even see them matching that. A coach can be good to give you specialized knowledge that only fits on your needs. Everything else you can look up with in depth explanations etc. Openings are not specialized knowledge. A coach that wastes time only giving opening moves is definitely not a good coach. Of course giving some opening ideas is perfectly good but they should rather refer to educational content to save time and get down to the work that actually only a coach can do. Besides many terrible coaches literally only give opening lines without deep explanation of anything. I saw the girl do this which made me immediately think that she was a pretty terrible coach. For 50$ you would expect her to make every second count. She absolutely didn't.

@@davidp.7620In Warsaw (where I'm playing my tournaments) there are some free club-only events organized by National Chess Federation (Pzszach) and at the cost of like 220 PLN (~50 Dollars) per 4 2h classes it's more profitable than getting a private coach and not being able to attend those tournaments. And to answer what you wrote, as I said I'm a young player and I don't cover most of the costs regarding chess but I'm almost sure that my coach doesn't charge anything based of his rating, since practically I'm a little worse chess player than him. He founded one of the biggest chess clubs in the city and probably in Poland, and his success is caused by his knowledge about chess history which I don't know much about.

@laurentsaltoflife9267 10 месяцев назад

Very interesting experiment. I'm an OTB player (~1950 FIDE) and I've already worked with various coaches in the past. I wasn't too impressed with the lady : although she was supportive, she didn't offer a lot of advice to improve your thought process nor relevant lines to help your analysis (saying the computer approves of a move isn't helpful). Showing specific opening theory isn't super-useful either unless it goes with verbal explanations to help remember the lines. I think the other coach was actually a bit better, at least he was trying to explain ideas behind the moves. Their summaries at the end were also a bit wanting, although the lady pointed that you launched a bit of a premature attack, but didn't explain why it was premature and shouldn't work. In my opinion, there are at least 4 interesting moments in this game : 1) the premature attack with h4 2) you missing your e4 pawn was under pressure which leads to your position collapsing 3) the move h6? which actually helps black by completely shielding their king and 4) the drawing and mating mechanism at the end (useful pattern to know). Best of luck with your chess !

@Manaliz_ Месяц назад

Hello. I'm not as strong as you. I'm just a 1.800 FIDE and I have to say that I completely agree with you. To be honest, before I say anything I have no idea how much time they had in this coaching session but none of them said a lot of relevant things about the game and the engine was always on which disencourage the most important, thinking. So yeah... if they had about 30-45 minutes it was a good session but if they had 1-2 hours I don't think it was worth it, you could simply turn on the engine and see the moves and still get the same result

@NotQuiteFirst 10 месяцев назад

Great concept for a video, but weird execution. The $5 coach was so cheap because he had to build up reviews and ratings to get himself established. The incredibly cheap price is basically like an introductory offer like getting a free trial for the first month when signing up to something. Very likely the actual value of his coaching is higher but you got a deflated price because he's new. It would be better to do the same test with two established coaches with different set prices

@xHannibal 10 месяцев назад

Is it them with the engine on or you? I work as a Chess coach also and in general it's not really the best for the coach to be using the engine especially if it's their first time viewing the game because it taints the human perceptions/wisdoms that you're trying to extract from them. Generally it's better if they analyze it first on their own outside the class without the engine (this justifies the higher hourly rate) then they can quickly check it with the engine for small things they missed and in this way they can share with you their original ideas so you get an actual human insight into the position instead of the just the computer.

I am a firm believer that unless you're already a high ELO player NO chess coach will probably give you decent advice. No but seriously on lower levels it's mostly pattern recognition and tactics. No coach can help you with that. It becomes way more impactful once they have the games are not decided solely by tactics.

@r0yce 10 месяцев назад

@@eliasvonbrille That's actually quite wrong. I understand what you mean but good chess coaches massively help with learning pattern recognition and tactics. Good coaches will not only teach you classic games and chess principles but also take you in a good position and force you to calculate and visualize. And once you went over a pattern, they'll have multiple game positions where they will make you recreate that pattern while playing good moves for both sides. Overall that calculation and visualization aspect of the game is very difficult to learn yourself. Moreover as a beginner I believe having a coach analyze your games with you and force you to admit why you did what you did will teach you heaps on how you think and how you should think in positions.

It is not just about money, he was just more sympathetic to me... he was saying great advices, and if i would like to get trained i think his advices were even more useful and would improve me more than advices from 50 dollar coach

5$ bro did well, but the advice about not studying opening was straight terrible 🤣

Lot of grandmasters advice you to Not Care too much about openenings until you are around 2000 fide. Not realy a terrible adivice by him.

@marlonzaklit8887 10 месяцев назад

Nah he's right better work on healthy Patterns for decision making. Then memories 100 of openings you may never play or remember. Like work on the assessment of the board and pieces, like he said about the library, build on your patterns and tactics. Recognise what's weaknesses you have and how to make out the best of a worst position are billion times better than learning openings. It won't be relevant util you are an IM to go deep in openings and prep. But that doesn't mean you should be clueless.

@GigsVT 10 месяцев назад

Other than some tricky traps, tactics and position will get you through the openings beyond move 3 at an intermediate level. Like if you want to play tricky stuff yourself, yeah you need to study. For example if someone allows fried liver at my level and doesn't play the traxxler, it usually means they know at least the next few best moves, so I better as well. But your typical out of the book after 5 moves opening comes up a lot more often than the well trodden lines (I'm around 1500)

@marlonzaklit8887 10 месяцев назад

@@GigsVT these things are basic you should know opening traps and stuff. But all we meant is that heavy prep does more harm than good at intermediate level. You should focus on positioning and tactics, especially on a healthy way to read the board, like week pieces and pawns, week squares, king safety, checks, capture, threats normal defence and tactical defence, ect.. . And understand and play any position especially enjoy playing worst positions, by finding counterplay to checkmate, equal or draw the position. And don't forget about calculation practice, best thing i ever did played faster and more accurate.

This experiment is not really fair. $5 an hour is not a sustainable rate for a chess coach/instructor. Online chess makes players able to connect with an instructor but in-person lessons may be preferable to some. Some possible guidelines: a chess coach should charge roughly what a music instructor charges in that area, and should play at least one class above the student in rating. Call the $5 rate a loss leader or a freebie, if the coach is new then this may be necessary to get started. In the long term this is not fair for people who try to make a living at teaching chess.

@mwangikimani3970 10 месяцев назад

It all depends on what you want out of chess. If you can't teach and motivate yourself (through studying and playing) enough to get to at least 2300 FIDE without a coach maybe you are wasting your money. I know this is a controversial statement and i did not originate it but i agree with it.

@mwangikimani3970 10 месяцев назад

Spend the money joining a club, and playing actual tournaments instead, UpTo about 2300FIDE then if you are young and talented enough you can invest in professional coaching. Otherwise it's a big waste of time and money for most casual players.

@Chadwinw 10 месяцев назад

I completely disagree. Most coaches aren’t even 2300 FIDE or FM. If ur say 1500 and want to get to 2000, sometimes instead of studying games and books (which may still cost money), spending $5-10 on a coach instead of hundreds of hours studying and playing is a worthy investment. I’m not saying getting a coach will boost you there but there will be likely be 2-3 concepts that you learn, specific to ur play that will boost your rating, saving hours spent learning the wrong things on your own. Time is money and I would prefer to save it.

@eliasvonbrille 10 месяцев назад

@@Chadwinw I got to 2000 in very short time simply by playing games online. Coaching would give you next to no value on that level I can pretty much guarantee it. Thats also logically obvious. Most games are decided by simply tactical oversights so you should first learn your tactics and then general concepts. That already brings you over 2000. To think you need specific coaching just for them to tell you the foundations which you can simply watch on RU-vid is a bit odd. The best a coach can do for you is get you into the right mindset and thinking mechanism but thats something that you can do yourself just as well. It's no magic. You should know best how to keep yourself 100% focused on every single game and every move separately.
