Chess Scotland could take a charge for the advertising on the website to raise some money. I know lots of strong players who would love to offer their services. These players would then also have some money which they can invest in tournaments and hopefully bring back some titles. Suddenly we would have a coaching structure and be raising funds for CS.
Just a few ideas and I would be interested in what people think?
This is a good idea. Some people will work better with others, so it would be good to have a well documented variety.
I still think group sessions would also be beneficial though, as such videos exist on Chess.com and other places and people seem to take quite a lot from them. I'd see it more as a lecture on a particular topic by a strong player and then Q&A sessions periodically. The good thing about group lessons is that it's cheaper for the participants. =)
More food for thought.
