Your lessons can be useful only for weak players, because your understandfing of chess is rather primitive.
If you don't like someone threads, then don't read it.
As for last thread reply, you are rated 2200, so you are wonerfull chess player, but from where comes this strange mental attitude so common on RHP. Many players behave like rating racists. If you have rating even 3000 you don't have to be arrogant, and you are not more worthy human being because of that.
A little bit of respect of each other wouldn't be bad, because your rating of good manners is 200

I` dont think that good chess teacher will learn others to understand positions which he doesnt understand himself. For example in one of his last threads he showed opening line in which he blundered easy standart tactic three times. Also his common judgements seemed like not very correct not only for me, but for players with rating much lower than mine.
So quality of his so called "chess lessons" are not too high.

Don't take me wrong, I am not trying to be rude. It was just a thought about better understanding of each other in this community. I wouldn't like to wake up and see thread where people make fun of me. That's all.
And best wishes to you as candidate master. We would be glad if you give us a thread with your lessons :-)

Originally posted by KorchSeeing as Mr.K got to 1800, and all his threads were trying to instruct others to reach that level of play, the "quality" of his lessons isn't important, provided they are 'up to' the 1800 standard.

Originally posted by ivan2908when you blow your own horn, it will be heard. what korch provided was a simple reality check, a comment from the perspective of a higher rated player. there's no benefit in getting hurt of defensive for that, instead it should maybe induce you to reassess your look on things. I'm sure rahim doesn't think he's infallible, and I'm also sure he appreciates all critique he gets from higher rated players. even if it may ruffle some feathers.

Originally posted by Korchthe point is that while RahimK's understanding of chess is more or less incomplete, it doesn't have to make any difference here. I think he can actually be better teacher for novice players than most of the GMs would.

and lets face it, 2200 rated also has rather poor understanding of chess.

you guys are being silly: rahim said his threads are good for low rated players (which nobody denies) but also for higher rated players. then a higher rated player comments that no, they're not, with good grounds, and suddenly everybody has their undies in a knot.
korch may be right, or he may be wrong. but it's more likely he's right. it's reasonable to think a 1800-player has a rather primitive understanding of chess. if that thought rubs you the wrong way, well that's just too bad. get over it, grow a skin.
how do you ever expect to get any better if a mere thought of critique gets you all defensive?
