Best Chess YouTuber?

Sort:
Sombro56

There are many different chess YouTubers and they are all good. Whether it be John Bartholemew, GM Huschenbeth, chessbrah, agadmator, etc. Who do you think is the best chess channel on YouTube? 

For me it's a tie between John Bartholemew and GM Huschenbeth but that's just me. happy.png

Barolemew is my favourite!

I enjoy MatoJelic, GingerGM, and IM Eric Rosen the best.

Mato is great when I want to watch a 5 minute clip that challenges me to see tactics in critical positions, GingerGM has excellent analyses of GM games and I particularly enjoy watching his rapid games where he shares his plans and ideas, and Eric Rosen also does rapid games and his presentation is very clean and straightforward.

I've checked out the recommendations on this thread but those three are good enough for me.

The older Hikaru videos, before he turned into a full time twitch streamer are pure gold. Eric Rosen is enjoyable but he is the bob Ross of chess. Secretly Eric is a sadist, just look at the enjoyment he got when Hikaru double adopted him in bullet. Agadmator is in a class all his own, great videos.

On YouTube I follow Agadmator but on twitch I follow Hikaru.

Just kidding, I actually think  Yasser Seirawan from Saint Louis is the best. He is WAY better then I am.

litimator

Agree with Acroduster that agadmator is in a class all his own. Recently started enjoying HangingPawns. Those videos are more my level (beginner chess player). Sometimes he moves a little fast and his evaluation is a little superficial, but good stuff in general. The Saint Louis Chess Club series(es) are also great. Yasser is a world-class teacher. Feingold is hilarious.

GM Mykhalo Oleksiyenko also has an excellent YouTube channel. His videos tend to be somewhat advanced, but he is very good at explaining concepts. Especially helpful is the way he describes how to think about a position.

Even though I am a huge fan of Ginger I might say I prefer Hanging Pawns. Clear english and not too complicated.

I just wish the guy would do a video while sober haha.
