What are the qualities of a good chess coach? How can one become a chess teacher? How should lessons be organized and scheduled? This episode is Part One of Two about chess teaching from both the teacher and student point of view. This week we focus more on the former. We also cover the following topics:

• Annotating your own games
• Is there a "rating ceiling" no matter how hard one works to improve?
• Can you take notes during an OTB tournament game?
• How to find time to play OTB games as a busy adult
