His videos are useful. Usually, he is following a game from a good book.

You’ll get far more from https://www.chess.com/games with no misleading commentary. Even Agadmator is better. His mostly just shows games, but he also usually highlights the critical moment and discusses tactics competently. Agadmator is close to candidate master strength (maybe just below), while Kerry Shirts is rated below 1000 USCF. He might be 1400 on Lichess or at correspondence here. He’s been a beginner a long time.

An uneducated YouTuber with an interest in chess, but no board vision. He also makes videos about Mormon theology. He lives in southern Idaho where Mormonism is the dominant religion.

I remember when I used to be excited by Chess. The way BYP is.
I still am, but I’ve only just started. Learned the moves in 1968. Started to get interested in 1975.
