Hi, Chris. Thank you. I'll be contacting Tyson or yourself off list as
I'd be interested if either of you are charging hourly rates for chess
coaching/instruction.

Hello everybody,
There’s a lot of traffic with games at the current time. Tyson has very
kindly offered extensive and very elaborative support and advice as of late
to annotate and comment on games. Despite extraordinarily generosity and
incredibly humanitarian approach, this is a massive resource on his time,
effort and general productivity.
I’m gaining the uncomfortable impression that this is now reaching a
breaking point. Tyson’s generosity must reach a breaking point and I want to
stress that for the benefit for the greater good, we should be aware of
this. So far, he has supported beyond expectation and for a player of his
capacity, for free, unadorned advice, I think there must be a limit to what
we can expect and presume from him. Volunteering has limitations. If any
person is to receive any guidance on any aspect of their game, I think
Tyson’s expertise needs to be respected and recognised and I am of the
belief that remuneration reflection of that fact should be reflected in the
receipt. You cannot expect to be in receipt of such sage advice on a regular
basis without due compensation to the giver. Tyson’s advice and guidance on
here has been extensive, so I reckon that if you seek further guidance and
support, that you should strike up a personal contract with Tyson and
compensate him accordingly for his expertise. Otherwise, you are simply
taking the mick on an open forum. Tyson is a professional, needs to be
recognised as such and contemplated as such. Being a free-loader is both
despicable and distasteful.
Cheers,
