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!

I love your chess videos, why have you stopped making them? The World Chess Championships for 2012 are coming up, between Boris Gelfand and Viswanathan Anand which will start in May. Do you think you could make some chess videos of those games? I miss your videos.
