Chess Coaching Requirements
To be able to coach chess, you must have some ability in chess. Having a high rating or a title will be a big advantage. Being a chess coach also involves alot of travelling to different schools. If you have a good understanding of chess, enjoy working with children, and don't mind travelling, chess coaching could be the job for you.
