We've had a lot of exciting developments at ChessVideos.TV during the past week. We've created a Chess Puzzle of the Day Facebook application, so if you have Facebook, you should check it out! Also, if you haven't yet joined our ChessVideos.TV facebook group, you should do that as well.

In other news, we've launched our first Chess Video Lesson Contest! We have $250 in gift certificates to wholesalechess.com, so whether you're a seasoned chess video producer or just looking to get your feet wet, this is a great opportunity.

The How to Reassess Your Chess book club continued, with our discussion of Part Four of Silman's book. Also in the General Discussion forum, JoshSpecht started a thread in which members can ask him anything about his opinions on chess, life, and his experience working on ChessVideos.TV.

Our training journals forum has been active, with PatzerLars and Eric D. King starting their own journals. If you want a way to track your training progress with the ChessVideos community, you should consider starting your own journal.

Member of the week Zibbit has been busy. He's started recording live commentaries, and also posted an excellent video analysis of a recent tournament game he played. In fact, Zibbit ended up playing and recording a live commentary against curtains, which curtains also ended up recording, creating our first master-level dual commentary! You can see Zibbit's perspective here and curtains' take on the game here. I won't spoil the videos, but they're a lot of fun to watch. Also, if you enjoyed curtains' commentary there, you can watch another of his excellent commentaries here.

For another entertaining live commentary, check out BKildahl's recording of his game against armis. Both are long-time members, and it's a great video.

If you're looking for a new opening trick, Leatherlung made an entertaining video on a trap in the Marshall Gambit.

For a video on better using chess software, Kingsblade made an informative guide to creating chess databases for future analysis.
