You will learn a lot more than from Agadmator, who's channel is very good, but shows a lot of engine lines without too much explanation of the deeper ideas.
- xlance 5y agoI totally agree, what a great tutor he is.
- Tenoke 5y agoBartholomew's 'climbing the rating ladder' content is at a similar level if you've finished with Naroditsky but I think Chessbrah's 'Building Chess Habits' speedrun is even better for most people. In that one GM Aman sets very simple ways to play and doesn't deviate from them even if it loses him some games while climbing or if there are obvious tactics he can use for a quick win. Naroditsky while great will often go into lines that a lower rated player is very unlikely to see or pull of and is very often winning out of the opening by knowing all the moves to punish suboptimal moves which lower rated players won't know. 0. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl9uuRYQ-6MCBnhtCk_bTZsD8GxeWP6BV https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl9uuRYQ-6MCBnhtCk_bT... 1. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8N8j2e7RpPnpqbISqi1SJ9_wrnNU3rEm https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8N8j2e7RpPnpqbISqi1S...
- SubiculumCode 5y agoBartholomew and Climbing the Rating Ladder series fan. I sure wish he'd focus on those videos more than his live streaming. The former is much more educational than the latter.
- veidelis 5y agoSomeone once correctly said that Agadmator doesn't teach chess.
- amalcon 5y agoI agree, I think Naroditsky is the best video content in terms of being educational while also being entertaining. Some others are maybe more rigorous, but not as entertaining, or vice versa.
