Step by step

  1. Open the coach profile and select a title or verification badge.
  2. Read the named credential and its issuing organization. A chess title and a tournament-director credential describe different qualifications.
  3. Check any validity or expiration date. Read the badge explanation rather than assuming all badges prove the same thing.
  4. If you are the coach, use your verification tools to review the status and any requested follow-up.
  5. Contact the coach or Chess67 if a badge appears incorrect, and include the profile link and badge name.

After you finish

You know what the selected badge describes and whether it shows a validity date.
