This role is designed for individuals who have a deep understanding of high-level chess theory, strategy, and pedagogy, and who can work with some of the best players in the world to refine their skills and prepare them for top-tier international competition.
As a Chess Teacher for Grandmasters, you will be responsible for developing customized training programs tailored to the specific needs of each grandmaster. You will analyze their games, identify areas for improvement, and provide strategic insights that can give them a competitive edge.
