Video vs. Written Annotations

I have mixed feelings about video.

One part of me is amused at the significant number of people who would prefer it. They seem to be overlooking the fact that there is much more content, say, in the annotations that you have added to your Denmark vs. the World transcriptions than could ever be delivered in a one-hour video covering the same material. I think you provide your customers much more bang for the buck when you give them written material.

Another disadvantage to video is the difficulty in finding something after you have viewed it. With an annotated match, it is much easier to look up a position later. With video, it is usually not worth the effort.

That said, I am a big fan of video. I enjoyed your previous vidoes, and continue to enjoy the ones Phil makes for the USBGF.

An advantage for you is the ease with which you can record a video. Ask Phil how much easier is to make a video than it is to write an article.

In a perfect world, you could do both. First annotate the match files to create a permanent record. Then make a video that uses your annotations as a guide for your lecture.
