i was not interested in chess and it was really hard for me to get interested until i followed this guy's videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChessNetwork

Just watching it got me excited and I picked up the basics and was having fun learning the game.

He comments on professional matches, but the part of his feed that I enjoy are the 1/3/5 minute time control games he plays. He is very good at articulating his thoughts during the game, and I find that much more engaging that listening to analysis of alternate lines that's more common in commentated chess matches.
