Hi,
Wanted some feedback on what chessplayers think would make a good
chess show. I have no budget. But I do feel I have a eye for the
camera.

( http://www.ifilm.com/video/2769762 ) - this is an example of one of
my NO-BUDGET film projects. I play the main character.

Anyway - Back to my question. I have watched a number of episodes of
ChessNow on youtube. And frankly they are horrible. In fact horrible
is being too kind. My thoughts are to do a youtube show with some
class. A little subdued classical music in the background, a nice
wood chess set, maybe a demo board, or I can inter cut computer
graphics of game play, like they did in the Kasparov movie GAME OVER.
Make it visually interesting. Have the host sipping on cognac,
dressed in a sharp suit, looking very intellectual. But a younger
host late 20's early 30's to draw in a younger demographic. Kind of a
chic/posh host The show would be dedicated to the history, and
techniques of chess. Each week, I might put together a 5-10 minute
show (to start) discussing an interesting bit of chess trivia (some
historical event of interest, etc) then focus the show on learning the
basics of a particular opening (the main line), or the principles of
good opening play, what it means to have the initiative, why control
the center, etc. Deal with a lot of the basics to start with, for
those who are just learning the game. Maybe work through a classic
master game with some easily understood, basic analysis of certain
positions in the game, like a video version of the book "Logical
Chess" These are just different ideas I have. I want it to be fun,
and interesting to watch. I can see from waching the videos on google/
youtube there seems to be a missing market for good chess TV. I have
everything to do a simple show. I'd just like some positive ideas or
comments from other players. I have a real love for the game. And I
feel it is very exciting, and want to share that passion with others.
Especially those new to the game.
