Anyone have a good recommendation for an instructional chess video for someone around 1700-1800--openings or otherwise? Something that won't let me fall asleep in front of the tv (which is what i usually do).

Vishy Anand defeats Veselin Topalov to retain World Chess Championship title — It was scarcely a vintage or error-free world chess championship, yet Vishy Anand's 6.5-5.5 victory over Veselin Topalov proved a combative scrap with subtle match strategies. The 40-year-old title holder from Chennai beat the Bulgarian 3-2 with seven draws in their €2m (£1.7m) series in Sofia. Anand won the crown in a 2007 tournament, then comfortably retained it against Vlad Kramnik in 2008, and so joins a rare elite of multiple chess champions. This time the margin was narrow, the games tense and long as Topalov, five years the younger, spurned draws and kept up sustained pressure. The Bulgarian had his chances, but a poor sense of danger proved his fatal weakness. All his ...

With One Blunder, Challenger Lets Chess Champion Keep Title — Some consider chess an art form, others a math problem to be solved, but at its heart it is a competition. Anyone who watched the more than 2,000 children competing at the National Elementary School Chess Championships in Atlanta last weekend could see that. At the top levels, the competition is fierce, and the psychological pressure can be overwhelming. That is why even the best chess players make mistakes. The world chess championship match between Viswanathan Anand of India and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, which ended last week in Sofia, Bulgaria, illustrated that pressure. Each made blunders, culminating in one that led to Topalov’s loss in Game 12. It was ...

Favorites Begin Quickly at U.S. Chess Championship — Hikaru Nakamura, Gata Kamsky and Alexander Onischuk, the top three seeds, all won their first games Friday at the United States Chess Championship in St. Louis.

The first seven rounds will be a regular Swiss system in which players with the same number of points are paired.

When I was in New York I saw a videotape of Fred Wilson's lecture on the Petroff Defense. It was informative (and the video quality passable), but at (I believe) $19, maybe not as good a deal as buying a book on the subjects he lectures on. However, if you've got the money and find reading chess books tiring, they're not bad. The Seirawan chess videos are also good, but the ones I saw were rather elementary (basic tactics, strategies...). I don't know if there are more advanced ones available.
If you are in the New York area, Wilson's bookshop and lectures should be checked out.

Day After Chess Championship, Victor and Vanquished Reflect on the Match — One day after their title match in Sofia, Bulgaria, ended, Viswanathan Anand, the once and still chess champion, and Veselin Topalov were tired, but proud. In separate telephone interviews on Wednesday, Anand and Topalov expressed satisfaction with their own efforts and said it was the most intense chess match they had ever played. “This is my first world chess championship match that has gone the distance,” said Anand. Referring to his earlier title matches against Vladimir Kramnik in 2008, which he won, and Garry Kasparov in 1995, which he lost, he continued, “With Kramnik it went like a dream, with Kasparov it went the opposite way.” Topalov said, “Every single game was ...
