One of my favorite parts of this site has been the videos, they have been awesome for my learning, several come to mind from "trap in the Trompowski", "chess simul and more", "Alekhine endings"....all of the videos by Canstein hae been most helpful (and similar others) in gaining understanding of those most famous games....Seeing Fisher, Tal, and other videos that I have never seen before have given my goose bumps.......Thanks to all that have put in many hours preparing these videos, my uscf rating has been 1415 is now 1516 in 2 months, and i just used the Albin counter gambit to crush a 2050 player at my home chess club....(just to brag about my improvement that 2050 player last week beat 3 masters in our rochester grand prix 2306 2468 and 2210 performance rating over 2700, and I used something i learned on a video here to beat him a week later......I you have read thus far, you are prbably just as excited as I am to hear this, but recently there (in my opinion) has been a bunch of garbage not related to chess at all in the video section...I didn't mind the occasional 2 kids fake Karate movie in the back yard....and "peanut butter jelly time" was only funny because my daughter likes the song....but now the last 50% of the videos that are not chess at all are annoying me. what about your opinion? thanks, charlie

Yes, eventually we plan to clean up the videos section and remove videos which are not chess related.
