I sincerely thought this talented comedian had peaked with the "Don't be a genius" post, where he swiftly demolished one of the most memorable WCC matches ever.

Great!
Quite some users have already asked me for advice how to improve their chess, although I had tried to discourage people from it in my profile text. Now I can finally explain to them that I don't understand anything. :D
(After all, it's not the best idea to ask a nameless player like me who even explicitly declares not being a trainer.)

Then we should also not listen to you?

Good dissection of issues questions. I like to see introspection from all walks of chess. Because we can't live all those. That is informative. We can see that one can look back on own strate of chess walks. And that as student or just in general learner (and anyone can relate to that, chess being big enough) it gives us some room to be our own autonomous thinker, and not keep a muffler on our critical abilities. Good idea to speak about that.

I think a good coach should teach how to think and allow the learner who is curious enough and confident enough about pre-chess own rational abilities to understand the basic chess rules, to ask why, and why not, even in the case of the expert sharing own data expert opinion, as player. Teaching the move that is best, will only help on the exact same position (in the worst case of generalization and autonomous learning).
I guess it is like the fish and teaching to fish. Also depend on the learner priority goals, and chess love more than some external to the board focus. Some may actually strive to stick to positions where they know the good move they know, and the paths leading there. I don't know, really, just making hypotheses putting myself in some learner shoes, wait, I am one of those.
So expert advice is just an introduction statement.. if only about best move in this specific one example. I think I want to learn how to find out when the coach is not there, what to do when other positions near that position (near?) happen.. because well. chess is big. and I might not even realize, from that one example best move reflex, that, while I can still do the hand-move, as the squares in question occupancy allows it, that it might not lead to the same outcome because of that difference which I am not equipped to reason about. I am only arguing here. Not saying this actually happens. The blog may also have covered this.
I am just glad that the blog opens such discussion. And the above is furthering the initial tree of possibilities of the blog.
