Can webex or skype conferencing in conjunction with playchess not be used for group sessions?
Accepting the point that 1 to 1 is the ideal teaching ratio in all situations the reality at School, University etc is that we have groups for cost effectiveness.
Online coaching is definitely the way to go in my opinion. Certainly as long as fuel costs remain high.
So flexibility of approach is important also with 1 to 1 for those who are prepared to pay for it and group sessions for those who wish to pay a smaller fee.
Also a more the merrier atmosphere in terms of coaches wishing to offer their services. This will drive up standards and create a buzz with players wanting to try out their new found knowledge hopefully at congresses etc.
