Chess videos by jrobichess.

To my knowledge I am the first person to begin playing chess and creating YouTube videos at the same time. My overall chess journey (things I have learned, rating improvements, etc) is all tracked here on these videos, both from what I posted and from comments and feedback from my subscribers.

I started chess in July 2007, and I have created a video history of my progress through YouTube! Follow along with my ups and downs as I work towards getting better at the great game of chess.

Technology has greatly helped my chess improve, and I hope you find that it can benefit you in the same way. I not only appreciate but invite your text and video comments to all my videos!

Some of my random chess thoughts:

"Chess is an oasis for the mind."

"In Life, everyone starts out as a pawn. It's the decisions we make along the way that shape our endgame."

Chess is a lifelong journey - thanks for sharing it with me!

For frequent blog updates, chess resources, grandmaster games, daily chess puzzles, and interactive chess opening study, please visit my personal site at www.jrobichess.com ! For chess software, I like Deep Aquarium with Rybka 3


Currently I enjoy the Free Internet Chess Server for live online chess and for correspondence chess I have not experienced better than http://www.chessworld.net .


If you're on Twitter look me up. Also, I enjoy music and share what I am listening to on Blip.FM which also integrates with Twitter. I hope you have many great experiences with chess and life in general!

Great work here! I play at gameknot under the name twoclouds. I love chess and of course, my game can always use improvement. I appreciate guys like you who can successfully share this beautiful game to those who may have missed the opportunity to appreciate it. Keep up the great work! You inspire me to work harder to improve my game.
