Like the title says, Im trying to find good books and twitch streams to watch that break games down for beginner/intermediate levels.

This would be commentary that points out general principles being followed and when they are not why (tactic at hand), how each move is working for center control and when exactly the person is going on the attack and which conditions have been met to accommodate this.  Also, who has the initiative and when/why it switched.  Tempo ideas in the game.

Thanks

Ben Finegold does a nice job of explaining theory in a humorous way. He analyzes viewer games several nights per week.

Ginger GM on YouTube does a great job of explaining when playing "longer games". Usually 15/15

The same way I am far and away the best forum troll on Chess.com.

When I was rated 1400 or so (... back in the Late Bronze Age...) I used to read books by Fred Reinfeld, and I thought they helped me a lot.
