I'm looking for someone to exchange NL cash game coaching for chess coaching. Let's say five 1h sessions total. I'm pretty much a beginner (played a few games, read all Harrington's books but that's pretty much it). I'm a strong chess player so you won't be cheated.

I can make money but can't make living just by playing. Very few can, unfortunately.

US chess tournament system is set up in such a way that the weaker you play the easier is to make money (imagine that all NL games are played for roughly the same stakes but keep the average strength of players same as it is. every player has a rating and you are not allowed to join tables where the top rating is sufficiently lower than yours).

My post wasn't a business proposition - rather targeted at someone who wants to learn to play better.

what's your FICS handle?

I was interested in OP's proposition but it's probably not worth it for me.
