As the heat of summer begins in Europe and America, the World Cup ends and chessvideos.tv is still here to deliver chess enjoyment. This week we have a new feature and the usual high-quality batch of videos! As always, for feedback and recommendations go to the forum!

First up, our new feature. The Chessvideos.tv Classics series will feature one classic video per week. This week's choice is katar's 1.e4 e5 series. Look forward to more!

Our third CVTV tournament is about to end. The sixth and final round sees Andrewrun with all the chances to take first place! Check for updates on the final standings during the next days. Jwhis and Andrewrun's lengthy recap of round three is up, as is Jwhis vs Schumi from round five. One of the top borads in round 6 featured Calm and Augelmo.

The Analysis Exchange goes into its third round. Sign up and exchange games and analysis, it's worth the effort!

This week also featured a first time video, joniboy16's never give up! Make sure to watch it and give some feedback and/or rating! Meanwhile rateodoro takes a look at the classic Bronstein vs Kortchnoj from 1962. Fox started a very promising series about attacking chess. In the first part he looked at the weak f7 square.

Josh has taken up live blitz again. Live commentary number 18 and 19 feature not only an interesting endgame against an FM, but also a sudden finish! Steve Farmer continues to cover the US Amateurs, this week: game fragments from round 5 and Lebovitz vs Savine. And if the heat made you forget how to play Queen vs Pawn endgames, then there's always PeterLalic to remind you. :)

What's left? Congratulating Spain for winning their first World Cup and thanking all the people who made our World Cup Thread so much fun. Oh and if you're an USCF member you might not have noticed the new rating staticstics on their website yet. They do look interesting!

That's it for this week, keep the videos coming and don't succumb to the heat!
