I know it's a hobby, but my favourite youtube Chess teacher is GM Ben Finegold.



I watch him more for entertainment, his videos were for long time my favourite videos on youtube bar none. But he is a grandmaster, it's solid chess content. He's as much comedian as chess lecturer, or he was, he's toned down the constant stream of crazy jokes in the last couple of years. He's recently started his own chess centre in Atlanta, his new lectures are appearing here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqLLqbclDQ6IQg39Wsgy-4w/vid...

He started as occasional lecturer at St Louis, where he made dozens and dozens of great, super-silly videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=049NnoR1LGE&list=PLVWaFpMwta...

Also: Peter Svidler does banter blitz videos occasionally for Chess24 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=svidler+chess24... ; he's in the world top 20. And el Divis on chess24 en español; everything he does is great. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTzRQxC3i7GOT4jtiTq4e0w/vid...
