Chess Basics 1.4 How the Bishop Moves and Captures

Here comes my video on how the Bishop moves and captures. I wish I could do this without the Kings on the board all the time, but using ChessBase as my main program, I am not seing another possible solution. Enjoy the video.

Chess Basics 1.1 The Chessboard and Pieces

My first chess tutorial. How to set up the pieces on the chessboard and how the chessboard is placed between you and your opponent. This is as elementary as it gets and even though we today play a lot of chess on the internet and don't really have to worry about this, it's still a "must". Hope you enjoy it.

Norwegian Chess Championship 2010, Video

I am finally finished editing the "Norwegian Chess Championship 2010, Video". This video lasts for 8-9 minutes and shows the Event itself. It was the best I could do with a handheld camera, a cheap computer microphone, terrible combination of white and yellow flouracent lights in the ceiling (a photographers and videomakers worst nightmare) and the fact that I am filming after my own games are finished. But you do get to see the chess, speed chess, analyzing, awards, Gamlebyen i Fredrikstad, up and coming talents and more and what to me is the most important thing... the Atmospehere.

All I can say is this; Enjoy.
