I am looking for a site or software that provides a lecture/tutorial video and shows the chess board and each move.

I think seeing and hearing the lecture and watching the pieces move on the chessboard would be a very helpful way for me to improve my game.

Are they downloadable or just streaming video?

Now I know Josh W has some tutorials on Chessmaster, but he talks too fast! I'd like a nice, clear not so fast lecturer or either a text that would go along with it like the captions on tv.

Do any of those CD's put out by Chessbase work with Fritz 10?

Thanks - grit

chessbase disks use chessbase reader, and the installation menu pops up when you start up the disk.

icc has some nice videos, but mostly only game analysis and sometimes openings. dan heisman has done some more general videos there.

chessvideos.tv has a huge amount of material:

danielsen has some interesting stuff, but it's mostly specific to reversed leningrad. his 110 commented blitz videos are very nice:

my experience on chess videos is that they're superior to books regarding learning, but usually very clunky for reference use. it's very time consuming to find that bit you're looking for, where as with a book you just flip to the right page. - you usually end up making some kind of notes from videos, like copying every pgn in an endgame dvd. but I suppose that extra work might also be good for learning?

Thank you, wormwood. I put them in my "Bookmarks." And I looked each of them up. You gave me exactly what I was hoping for!
