Since the start of ChessVideos.TV, live commentaries have been one of our most popular video formats. They combine the instruction of a strategy video with the excitement of live competition. Now we're holding a contest to find the next ChessVideos.TV live commentary star.

To enter, simply record a video of yourself playing a game of 5-0 (5 minutes, no increment) or faster blitz chess while commentating live. We want to see exciting games, so don't be shy about recording multiple videos to get the most interesting entry. If you are lower rated, don't worry! Chess is excited at all levels and we appreciate all entires. To enter, just upload your video and post in our contest submission thread, and we will move it to the contest forum. ChessVideos members will discuss and vote on their favorites.

This contest is being sponsored by The House of Staunton. Please give them a visit, they have an excellent store and we are proud to have them as a sponsor for this contest!

First place: $100 gift certificate for the House of Staunton chess supply
Second Place: $25 Amazon.com gift certificate
