I just want to give a mention to ChessNetwork on Twitch[1]. I watched many of the games of this series live via this channel, and it was great how the commentator had his own board to demonstrate the next few moves and explain the players' thinking. It was really interesting and relaxing. https://www.twitch.tv/chessnetwork https://www.twitch.tv/chessnetwork

Jerry at ChessNetwork is so wonderful! He's almost single-handedly responsible for my growing interest in Chess. He is such a clear communicator, and his passion for the game is infectious.

Jerry is a phenomenal chess instructor. His latest video on tactical awareness[1] explains more in 2 hours than you might learn in a thousand games at the board. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzGKPxJ5NYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzGKPxJ5NYI

  Wow, you’re not kidding. He’s basically ticking off many of my lingering questions one by one.

  This guy's voice has a real Sam Harris vibe.

Jerry's great... if a little anonymous. ;) I've watched most of his videos on his YouTube channel. He's not the most experienced player but his style of communication is very accessible, even to casual chess players. I'd especially check out his videos on Leela Chess Zero and Google Alpha Zero; they are a blast!

I preferred chess.com's Twitch stream[0]. They do the same but have various GMs and other's come on to discuss. 0: https://www.twitch.tv/chess https://www.twitch.tv/chess

  I watched them regularly during the championship, they had Yifan[0] on several times and she was fantastic. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hou_Yifan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hou_Yifan

    Exactly! I think they did a great job of creating some discussion that wasn't purely about the game at hand, while still having some great analysis.

I agree, I saw a few of the games via his LiChess slot and I thought he did a phenomenal job in terms of making advanced chess concepts accessible to a very wide range of skill levels. I also loved elements of the chess.com stream, especially when guys like Levon Aronian and Hikaru Nakamura come on, but there's something to be said for just a very high quality stream with somebody who both knows what he's talking about and is super humble and interesting.

I "randomly" discovered (if that is such a thing in today's world of machine learning) ChessNetwork, and it's become my primary resource for improving my chess beyond the beginner level. Their beginner to master series describes so many little things that would have taken me ages to learn or many books read.
