Probably should have just named this thread Favorite DVDs. With all the interest in books for players under class B level I thought this would be a good way to go, but please feel free to write about your favs no matter what level player they are for.
Favorite DVDs for under class Bs
Sort:
DVDs? Videos?
All the "ABC" opening DVDs from chessbase, Andrew Martin usually does these.
Karsten Mueller's first endgame DVD, also from chessbase.
All the Chessbase Videos I've seen are really top notch.
Daniel King's "Powerplay" series was exactly what I needed to advance my thinking. He's a fantastic teacher and uses the Chessbase system to its full potential. Karsten Mueller isn't nearly as good on camera, but his endgame DVD was very instructive as well.
Ah yea I forgot about those powerplay DVDs...the samples always look really good.
A few of mine:
1. The Record Breaking Chess Olympiad: Torino 2006 (the game analysis with Yasser Seirawan is awesome, I can listen to that guy talk about chess for hours).
2. Grandmaster DVD Magazine Series (man I wish they still did these, Danny King's commentary--occasionally with Maurice Ashley--on the Intel Grand Prix tournaments is great, these tourneys where before I got into chess so Its really nice to be able to see Kasparov in his prime going against young guns like Kramnik, Morozevich, Adams etc.
3. Women Chess Stars DVD Series: Krushing Attacks! The picture quality of this DVD isn't so great but the games more than make up for that. Irina, even at that young age was one intense competitor
