3. Pay per minute. Share a game for analysis, work through a position, ask about an opening. Hang up when you've got what you needed.

Chess is one of the games where a single coaching session can genuinely change your understanding in a permanent way. A coach who shows you the pattern underlying a tactical sequence — not just the move but why it works — gives you a mental model that applies to dozens of future positions. Game analysis, in particular, is extremely high value: reviewing a recent loss with an expert who can identify the exact moment you went wrong is the fastest way to stop repeating the same mistakes.

Come with a specific focus: a game you want to analyze, an opening you want to understand better, a tactic type you're struggling with, or a general "I'm stuck at this rating, what should I work on?" Most coaching sessions run 20-40 minutes. Have a chess board, app, or browser tab open so you can follow along in a shared position if needed.
