Chess on DVD

Chess Tutorial on DVD is the most inexpensive way to interactively learn the different elemental aspects of the game of chess. Using a chess training DVD is second best only to having a live chess coach, and much cheaper! Besides that you can put a chess dvd on pause or rewind, and you just cant do that to a chess coach! The reason why Chess Instructional DVDs are so much better than say a book or software, is because it can engage three senses, sight, sound, and touch. Now some of you may ask "how does a chess DVD involve my sense of feeling?" well let me explain. It has been scientifically proven that some people learn better by hearing, some by doing, and some by seeing it being done. I learn best by doing, so if I want to get the most out of a chess instructional DVD I have a chess board (sometimes more that one) set up and ready to follow the teachers board on the DVD. So you see, Chess DVDs engage the 3 major learning senses at once, therefore making it an extremely powerful chess instructional tool . And when you think about it, when you get into advanced chess, not all of us can afford to have amazing chess coaches like Yasser Seiriwan or former world champion Garry Kasparov in real life, but we can all afford their chess DVD's.

Knights Of the South Broncs DVD!

The most captivating, entertaining chess movie since Searching for Bobby Fischer!

A business man decides that he wants to teach school in the inner city and chooses a tough school in the South Bronx. He teaches the children how to play the game of chess, and along the way they learn a lot about life. Richard's entire class is lifted out of nothingness and boredom to fight for life, success, and the thrill of achievement! He helps his entire class discover chess one day, much to the dismay of school authorities. Richard's mind is torn as even his wife disapproves when he turns down a lucrative job offer to stay with low-paying job... "his kids" and his class. But Richard cannot be swayed from helping the kids find new hope in life. When Richard's class is reaching new levels of achievement in their studies the tide is turned, his wife comes to his side, and his Knights of the South Bronx battle their way to winning championships and battling all signs of defeat... often from within their own minds and ranks - their classmates. But they encourage one another and overcome, inspired by the game of chess.

Running Time: 86 minutes
