I’m been playing chess off and on for last few years. But I have gotten back into it and have been playing daily over the last few months. Any recommendations on certain channels or players to watch from?
You should check out the Backyard Professor.
He is a Chess Enthusiast who plays chess on and off among other things.
Chess vibes
Thank you!
Chess Vibes has very pragmatic advice excellent for beginners. Daniel Naroditsky has more in depth videos but too excellent not to recommend, especially his end game videos. Better than watching others, I recommend you play longer time controls, classical even if you can. General chess improvement is slow when playing blitz.
Dear Haightorade10,
I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. 
Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analyzing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is so good or bad.
In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.
If you would like to learn more about chess, you can visit my Patreon channel (www.patreon.com/Bgabor91), where you can learn about every kind of topics. I've just started this channel and I'm planning to upload 3-4 new videos per week.
I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!
