My favorite is is Nelson Lopez from Chessvibes. He's very instructional and explains how he thinks and moves.

(27,945 posts)They're really good. It really helped me master the bishop & knight checkmate, for one.
Another one I like on youtube is agadmator. https://www.youtube.com/@agadmator
He takes games between great players and explains why their strategies work, and lets viewers try to find the killer moves, then shows why it's killer. He's very nteresting and fun.
If I get around to it, I'll look you up on chess.com!
