I am interested in building a simple database of free chess videos available on the Internet, i.e., youtube, video podcast, etc.
Submit information about the video to this thread. After we collect them we will rank and rate them.

It's tends towards the quirky and trivial rather than instructional although there's a few of those too.

I realize there are a lot of videos on chessvideos.tv, youturb.com, etc., but what we need are exact videos that are suggested. I can write a search engine to find all chess videos, but most of them are trash.
Originally posted by JonathanB of LondonYes, and it is an excellent idea, looks great. Just not big enough, and lacks the search components of a database. chessvideos.tv is a great site too, I just don't like their index.

Let's take a simple opening, the English. I want ever video out there on the English, but they need to be rated at least in order of difficulty.
I haven't watched very many chess videos but I recall I enjoyed these, very clear regarding thought process and tactical tricks in position.
