Why no opening videos on chess.com?

KarlPilkington

I took a look at the archives of Chess.com videos, hoping to find many different specialized opening videos.


I found only 3 categories - Fianchetto, Development, Opening Traps.

 

I was expecting to find "Benoni, Sicilian, King's Indian" etc...

 

I'm surprised a site like this would not have opening videos that are more specific, am I just looking in the wrong place?

Snar

anyway, you are not a diamond meber, so you can't watch them

-waller-

There are indeed lots of that video type, and also, Snar is right.

Shankland has in depth guides to the Slav and Najdorf, and a multi part Ruy Lopez video.

Pruess has ones on the Kings Gambit and Petroff.

Lilov has beginner guides to a variety of openings.

etc.

Well these videos aren't listed under OPENINGS so how would one know which openings are covered? 


Unless I went through the entire list one by one, which seems a bit desperate.

 

BTW, I will become a diamond member soon if I can find videos on the following openings:

Benoni

Kings Indian

Slav and Semi-Slav

Queens Gambit

Dutch Defense

Yes they are, perhaps you just don't know how to search it.
