What are some good chess videos/lectures online?

Post by stwils »

I'm looking for some good chess videos/lectures that show the board and animate the moves. Are there any good sites that have these free?

It seems a perfect way to learn - audio and visual and hopefully text in case the audio is not easy to hear.

I found one - www.chesslecture.com but there is a small monthly charge.

Are there others?

chessvideos.tv has many free videos.

I mostly watch the videos from titled players:

You'll also find lots of videos from casual players if you browse around the site.

I took a look and I like it! It may be just what I was looking for.

Thank you. :)

www.chess.fm has some fantastic lecture videos on games. Although you need to be a member to get many of the most recent videos ... there are tons of videos of older games. Every once in a while I will go there and take a look at a few videos of game analysis.

Here is a nice game where Carlsen beats Rajdabov with black pieces.

You can get the video lecture via chessbase Cd's. But mostly they seem to sell openings and databases of few GM games.
