Hello chess community,
What are your go-to chess YouTube channels? I have seen some videos of GothamChess, Hikaru, agadmator, Anish Giri and Bobby Bojangles (among others). I know there are tonnes of great content creators out there. What channels do you recommend? Thanks.

Andras Toth. If you are looking for quality content focused on actual chess and not on sensationalist fluff, you may want to check him out. It's a shame his channel is not as popular as it deserves to be.
These are fantastic suggestions. Thank you.
Chess Coach Andras Toth is the G. Most underrated chess youtuber/streamer and teacher. Such a positive attitude and influence in the online chess community.
John Bartholomew is also great. Very instructive.
Eric Rosen is also such a wholesome, chill guy. Sometimes I watch just to see him play good chess and chill.
Gothamchess is ok but more for people who are very new to chess as his videos are more flashy/clickbaity. Also he is always trying to discourage people from playing main openings that he doesn't like. Maybe his style could work for you though.

Chess Vibes on YouTube, NM Nelson Lopez has a number of good videos. He is very adept at teaching and doesn't waste time. I like his videos. I will check on some of the others listed too. Good post topic!
I personally recommend GothamChess and Chess Vibes. Some other great ones are Chess Talk
Lmao, (all jokes guys)
Andras Toth is quite good, but I think the two most instructive YouTubers are Danial Naroditsky, and John Bartholomew all three of these guys concentrate on teaching

I've previously criticized Agadmator on this forum, but now I get it.
He makes a heck of a lot of content, so it's understandable that his videos aren't quite as polished or deep as some other channels; the man's working hard.
And I like that his videos are always relaxing...if I'm watching gotham or chessbrah you never know when they will suddenly start yelling (they are good channels too, I'm just saying you don't always want that).
