I reckon if approached by Chess Scotland with the intention of forming a junior coaching programme in Scotland using 'playchess' then such a deal may be available. i.e. half price for 1st year of use. |
I approached them a few months ago about this very thing! |

will send you a challenge Andrew next time we're both online.
I stated earlier that it's an honour for my children to represent their country.
It is though quite an expensive honour and if you play all the representative tournaments it's a very expensive honour.
Steven H is right. This won't change until Chess is recognised as a 'Sport'
Meanwhile Norway have put together over $10 million to put together a bid for the Olympiad.
Meanwhile there's no money to back aspiring juniors here in Scotland whilst ancient chess pieces are shown off to the Scottish Public at what cost?
I see this as living in the past and not supporting the future. imho dyor |
