Good question. by explaining his thinking he had given away his strategy. Another thing he was upset about or now that I think about it, the whole reason he was upset.

The best advice I was ever given as an Art Teacher was to ask 'Why' that color? etc IE chess move? I think it applies here also. Actually, I was working with a functional autistic in my chess club. He had made a seemingly bad move and some of the other kids was trying to help him. He was getting upset. Once I asked him 'why'? that move, he explained in detail several moves forward why he thought it was a good idea. We were all amazed at how plausible his move would have been.

Thanks,

I was really more interrested in stirring up conversation than actually finding the quote.

I'm looking for a quote I read about how the advice a teacher might give would change by rating. I thought it was by Dan Heisman, but I haven't been able to find it.

The idea of the quote goes something like this:

Suppose I observe two players play the following moves: [[ 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6 ]]
- If the Black player is rated 800, I might say "Good, you are developing a piece off the back rank."
- If the Black player is rated 1300, I might say "Be careful about blocking your c-pawn with the knight. In queen pawn games, ...c5 is often an important pawn break needed to open files for the rooks."
- If the Black player is rated 1800, I might say "Have you been having success with the Chigorin Defense?"

Does anybody know where I might find this quote?
