Check out these chess youtube videos!

Please give feedback to me on how i can make them better for chess education.

Oh heaven, not another one...

Quit making those awful videos, please!  Also, you cannot claim (as in one of your videos) that you will be making videos from beginner to master if you are not close to being a master yourself.  And the spelling of "beginner" is wrong on your links...

I like the videos as well.  "The Unsjb," lay off, nobody's forcing you to watch the works.  I see a bit of a budding "Backyard Professor" in this young man.

LOL, "The Backyard Professor" eh? (Kerry Shirts)

Yup, this is the kind of "Master" player you want to study Chess with!

It almost seems to me that everyone with a YouTube account nowadays suffer from the illusion that they can teach chess to the masses, even if they themselves have very little knowledge on the subject (Kerry Shirts even admits in the blog post that he is still a beginner player himself).

Some of the arguments I have seen to justify this (all complete nonsense of course) are:

• I am not that good at playing chess, but I am good at teaching it (in other words you don't need good marks in science to teach science as a subject).
• My actual chess strength is far greater than what my rating indicates it to be (yeah right).
• My opening knowledge is that of an Expert.
• My videos are aimed at "beginner"-level players (as if there aren't plenty of those already).
• My chess coach says that my online rating is equivalent to that of an Expert OTB.

My point is that you will not get better at chess by making videos rather than practicing it.  And someone "teaching" a subject he's not an expert in is potentially harmful to the poor souls watching these videos and taking them seriously.

Anyway, I will get off my soap box now, good luck you all...

Theunsjb thank you for your opinion. But you dont know what your talking about :). 

I'm all for people helping other people. I coach a high school chess team because no one better than me has come along willing to do it. And I get a lot of milage by having my higher rated kids (in the 1000-1200 range) help the lower rated ones. 

As long as people watching the videos are aware of the level of the instruction, and the instructor isn't over-reaching, there's no problem.

The problem arises when a complete amateur tries to pretend they're something they aren't.
