Regional coaches, who participated in the meeting online, spoke about the problems that cause concern in the current situation and made various proposals.

Representatives of the Coaches, Children and Youth, as well as Composition Commissions of the Azerbaijan Chess Federation, provided information about the problems in organizing rated tournaments, the lack of experienced coaches in the regions, and the lack of methodological support.

During the meeting, ideas were exchanged on holding seminars with coaches, inviting well-known experts from abroad to Azerbaijan for exchange of experience, organizing online lessons on the federation's "youtube" channel, creating a database covering chess players and coaches, and completing the certification process for coaches.

It was emphasized that it is important to review the provisions of the regulatory framework together with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Science and Education, and bring them up to modern requirements.

Federation President Mahir Mammadov said that meetings with coaches will become a tradition. He gave relevant instructions regarding the solution of the voiced problems.
