Special chess trainer from Russia
A family in Izmir has brought in a special chess trainer from Russia for 30 thousand Euros a year.
Russian trainer Nadyrhanov spends three weeks a month giving chess lessons to 18-year-old chess player Emre Can.
Millions of children start taking chess lessons in elementary school and families bring trainers from Russia for a monthly payment of 3,000 Euros.
Chess became an elective class at elementary schools in 2005 and has increasingly become a sports field for the masses. As the number of masters in chess is limited, families have started to search for international trainers, especially from Russia and Azerbaijan. Eighteen-year-old Emre Can’s family has hired Sergey Nadyrhanov as his chess trainer. Emre Can is national chess team player. Emre’s family has only one wish: “seeing their son reach the top in this sport.”

That’s a lot of money for training.
Just hope it isn’t a scam originating in Nigeria, as a British GM who answered an advertisement in an English paper found out. The advert was placed by “Nigerian Govt. Officials” offering 1,00,000 $ p.a. to teach chess to Nigerian youngsters. They would process your papers on payment of a small administrative fee after which the papers would be mailed to you.
Of course the papers never arrived after the fee was paid because the whole thing was a rip-off!
For 3,0000 Euros a month, I’ll do your laundry on top of teaching chess….
according to FIDE.com,
Emre Can is rated 2461 and Sergey Nadyrhanov is rated 2463.
Is Nadyrhanov a trainer or more of a sparring partner? If the former, does a developing young player need a teacher who is much stronger to help him or not?
i’ve learned its not about the rating, its about knowing how to coach. I know because sometimes as a kid I go through things but my coach knows how to help me through things that have nothing to do with chess but that do affect me on the board. but thats me.
