Elshad and Maurice Bishop are my favorite players. Neither are famous but I like their styles.

Just subscribed to Maurice Bishop's YouTube channel. I'll have to check them out. On YouTube, I enjoy the teaching style of Nelson Lopez https://www.youtube.com/c/ChessVibesOfficial . He's down to earth and not pretentious like other chess YouTubers.
I like Nelson Lopez too.
I second Nelson Lopez and I like GJ chess on YouTube for learning new traps in openings I play
Game that I recently won with an opening trap from one of his videos (12 move checkmate)
Very nice trap! The London System and the Benoni use similar themes with Nd5 and the pawn sacrifice on b2, but I've never seen checkmate result!
NM Robert Ramirez's YouTube channel has been a great resource for building my understanding of the Pirc/Modern/KID defenses. Until joining this forum, I didn't even know about the Elshad/Lion System. As mentioned, Maurice Bishop does a nice job covering them.
The Hanging Pawns channel has become the video equivalent of the Modern Chess Openings book for 1.e4 and 1.d4 openings.
