This is amazing stuff.

We should probably start a "Courses" section in the wiki where things like this can be put, so that everybody can edit and add to it. For people new to the site, it would be amazing if the videos were categorized in beginner, intermediate and advanced sections as well. I'll put a link to the homepage for Courses once we have a few up.

Also, for your hard work katar I've granted you 2 months of free premium membership! Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Post Re: Endgame Course by CV.tv Members
it took about an hour--

1. list categories on piece of paper
2. do video searches for "ending" and "endgame", also look at existing lists in wiki
3. write thread numbers under the categories
4. type it out

the real credit goes to the videomakers, not to me. :)

it would be possible to structure a course re middlegame themes too, but that one would actually take a lot of work since categories are less well-defined, unlike endgames.
