Red Army Academy

Not necessarily -- chess can be taught by anyone willing and interested.

I'm not sure, I could ask about that, but the guys i've asked are all FIDE rated about 500 pts above me :) (they are busy people, and somewhat mercenery too) 

I will need to call in some favors:) 

So, when do expect this to get started. I would like to be your first student

Since we aren't going to have so many coaches for unrated games, it doesn't really matter, now that I come to think about it.

I will get it started as soon as possible.

That ok for me

I'll be happy to volunteer for what ever role you want me in.  I have been studying middlegames a lot since this topic came up.  No better way to learn than to teach, so I will be happy to lend a hand.

I am up for that, i love teaching chess not only here but in school as well it is good for the students that will be trained as leaders in the future to mentor their family, work, community and someday their beloved country and country men to a good future by the grace of our Good GOD.

it'll be tactics, then.

So... That makes about 6 volunteers.

Field: middlegame/endgame

7volunteers, right?

Hmmm........middlegames or endgames?

Well, I'll see. If more people sign up for middlegames, I'll put you in for endgames, and vice versa.

I have taught chess for free at our local YMCA for six years. I have never taught online. I will give it a try. Whosnextt

8 volunteers

ok?

whossnext, rating and field of interest, please.

I am currently rated 2031 on this site.  I don't have a FIDE rating but it would probably be about 1900.  I can help in whatever capacity you would like.
