Youtube, ICC, and CHESS.COM VIDEOS

Dan Heisman has a large video library on the ICC website and is now publishing videos on YouTube.  The links below are to the "full", ICC members-only versions.  They can be accessed by ICC members with a username and password.  If you are not already and ICC member, click this link to start with a free one month trial membership. These videos are linked below

Dan also has links to the final four (?) of his "Q&A with Coach Heisman" TV shows on Chess.com (take this link or the one below for access to the library). This 90 minute show ran from 2012 thru 2015. I believe all but the final four shows are no longer archived by Chess.com.

Combine these videos with Dan's Articles and Blogs page to create your own personalized multimedia course from more than 450 instructional videos and hundreds of articles.  If you benefit from my free Novice Nooks or videos, please consider a tax-deductible charitable contribution to one or both of my two Philadelphia Foundation charities.
Dan's new YouTube channel for chess instruction ! (can also view with playlists by subject)

General Info about ICC Videos

Dan's ICC videos are for sale in MP4 format via the ICC store. Check it out and get "Introduction to Thought Process" free!
 
Take the free previews link for my videos, for ICC non-members, and all the same videos in reverse chronological order. Check out the vast video libraries at Chess.com and Internet Chess Club

The ICC Website also has my same videos as linked above, on two pages, ordered by subject and chronology:
  • Dan's weekly instructional videos ordered by subject - Take link for the same set of ordered-by-subject videos as below (in case something is not working) - free to ICC members
  • ICC videos ordered by chronology

To submit a game you played for a video, put it in your ICC library and email me your ICC handle and game number, e.g. "ex myhandle %123"
Technical Stuff:
  • ICC's Blitzin & Dasher use Flash for Internet Explorer for videos. Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ using Internet Explorer for the correct version of flash - note you have to untick the box on the page, or you will also get Google Chrome & Toolbar when you click on 'Download'
  • Some have reported that certain videos run better under Internet Explorer
  • Report from ICC on Apr 2016 about running some older videos:
            "We know that those videos are not accessible at the moment, but there is a workaround you can tell your student[s].
           Use this link to watch a video, in an external browser  (I.E., Chrome, Firefox, etc.): https://webcast.chessclub.com/icc/c/Heisman/2011_02_05/Heisman.mp4
           In other words, when you can't access one of the very old videos, replace .html with .mp4 at the end of the link.
           We are working to make all the old videos available the old way, but it'll take some time."

Watching archived ICC videos on IPad and IPhone:
  • Aug 2012: All of our new videos work on iPad.  As of a few days ago, iPad users get the entire weekly schedule and it’s archived for months (Currently goes back to March 2012). That’s your last 26 shows. It’s true that shows produced years ago are not in the proper format, as they were done in WMV.   We do have plans to redo all the old shows, but not immediately.
  • Dec 2012: A few weeks ago we switched to a new format (HTML5) that makes it possible to play all new videos on an iPhone.   This is not yet in the iPhone app, so you currently you will need to browse to www.chessclub.com/videos and select the FULL show link to watch. Another idea is to bookmark http://www6.chessclub.com/chessfm/index/heisman/index2.html and view the videos from there.  The video from 11/24/2012 onward should work on your iPhone.   There will be two viewing options, viewing directly, or downloading an app to manage the collection of videos so you can view them later directly from the app.
Tweet Jan 7, 2013: Jason Jamz @GettysburgDawn @danheisman has helped me gain at least 300 rating points in the past year with his videos on ICC #chess THX!
