My two teen-aged grandsons were a bit dubious about being tutored in chess. They quickly changed their minds during their first session with Cau. He was punctual, polite, and expertly prepared to impart his vast knowledge of the game. "Wow, that was great. I have a whole new perspective of chess." (My oldest grandson summarizing his satisfaction of the lesson.)
