I spoke with Candidate Master and renowned chess educator Brian Karen. He is one of the most active teachers in the country. Some of our talking points include:

• Tournament players vs. hobbyists
• A rating system based on norms, rather than individual games
• Studying chess
• Does preparing for a specific opponent actually make a difference at the club level?
