Derek Howie Wrote:I'd agree with this and would not want to enforce any level of free coaching. Most of the guys who do the paid coaching through CS at the moment do free coaching as well (recent Glorney?) which they don't shout about. Making it compulsory just risks annoying them and may end up reducing the amount of free coaching overall.
Well said!
From my experience, the paid online coaching is cheap for what it is - the guys could charge more and the fact they don't is a welcome contribution and I for one appreciate it. I know Daniel has benefited greatly from coaching from Clement and Gabe.
Also, perhaps for another topic - there is a motion to the AGM to create a Chess Coaches Committee, I would imagine this would cover some of the points Harry was making regarding registration etc.
Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional!
