Dear friends! With so much content and little time available, the family was forced to consult to decide what to study.

- They must be real and recognized Chess Grandmasters (GMs).
- They must communicate well in an educational format (not just entertainment).
- They must teach in an accessible, clear, and technical way.
- They must have two key attributes for each one.

In short, this served as a guide, but its data needs to be verified. Undoubtedly, the acceptance of these selections depends on each individual: their learning needs and expectations, their level, their motivation, their ability to assimilate and put knowledge into practice, their experiences, their tastes and preferences, their belief system and values, cultural factors, etc. There are many professors, teachers, and masters who have an excellent level of what we have learned, whose broadcasts, videos, and programs we enjoy, but who are not included in these selections, of which we are not part; they are responses exclusively from chatbots. Thank you all very much.
A respectful debate is open. I'd like to hear your thoughts in a comment.
