I was just wondering, assuming you get good enough can you make enough money to live off of chess?

Snar

Assuming you get good enough, yes

Good enough probably means 2650+ by just playing although if you do a lot of coaching and live in a big city, or write any chess books, you might only need to be 2300+ to live of of chess
