Hi all, I thought I would start this forum topic so that people can share some good learning materials from various places on the web (articles, videos, interesting games etc). Please try and keep this on the topic of positional chess and other general ideas. If you have an interesting tactic or puzzle then it might be best to post a new forum topic.

Anyway here's a couple of my favorites from across the web...

GM Varuzhan Akobian has several great lectures (and uploading more every week or 2) where he analyzes his and other grandmaster games and explains the ideas behind each of the moves. He is really one of the best lecturers I have come across and definitely learnt a lot from these videos. I'll post a link to one of them but there's heaps of other really good ones on youtube.
