Daniel King is one of the most popular chess trainers and presenters. He gained his first TV experience during the chess programmes English television showed during the 1993 World Championship between Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short. His almost daily TV presence made him so famous that King was even booked by an advertising agency for an Audi-commercial.

King also made a name for himself as an author an when ChessBase began with its Fritztrainer video course series, he was one of the first to recognise the potential and created his "PowerPlay" DVDs, recording all DVDs in English and in German. By now he has made no less than 28 DVD, each in two languages, i.e. 56 DVDs, with a length of about five hours per DVD. On each DVD he presents his topics in an instructive way and with a light and easy touch.

On top of that King also has a YouTube channel, where he presents current and classical games. And each Friday he offers ChessBase readers his PowerPlay show. When Daniel King isn't recording anything, he gives private chess lessons.
