Chess YouTube Videos

Great stuff, enjoyed playing through those! You put up a really good fight against that GM and pretty much had that first NM on the ropes. Guess the time factor was a big issue in places. Well played! :)
 
Yeah, G-30 isn't my strong suit (really it's generally played as G-25 with a 5 second time delay as it was in this tournament) but thanks, I was happy to feel like I was able to go head to head with these guys. :)
 
With the recent explosion of let's plays I find it strange that I cannot find a single let's play of chess that isn't someone who hardly knows the rules playing against Chess Titans. Isn't there a single person on the Internet that is willing to play a bit of chess somewhere and talk about what they are thinking while playing?

I am actually thinking about trying to do a let's play myself when I can afford a new computer. Maybe I could inspire someone else to make one as well...
 
Hmm ... the best youtube channel I know for this is

http://www.youtube.com/user/kingscrusher?feature=g-all-u

Kingscrusher is CM Tryfon Gavriel from the UK - he's done thousands of videos! Some of them are him recounting OTB games but there are plenty of him chatting a bit whilst playing. Mostly he's been doing 5 minute/2 minute warzone videos lately but here's a 15 minute game:

if you're looking for something a bit longer. Or you could watch some of these:

which is a recording of the BBC "Master Game" series they did - the commentary is again retrospective by the GMs playing, but done as if they are thinking on the spot and following their thought processes. See what you think I guess.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this guy:

he's a German FM who does live commentaries, here is one of him doing a dual commentary game, where his opponent also made a video of his live commentary!
 
Alphazero crushes the French Defense.
Take that France!


I think Alphazero was later forced to play a variation of the French Defense and lost.
Game starts after move 8. (2:14)
