For openings I really like Dereque Kelley. He breaks down the opening and explains what both sides hope to accomplish without bias.

Saint Louis Chess Club is really good as well as they get into all types of stuff. Openings. Endgames etc.

For interesting and informative annotations of historical games, try @agadmator.

I don't watch as much as I'd like to, but Daniel King is quite good.

John Bartholomew is pretty good. For me his games are also relevant because I play his repertoire with white and black. 1.d4 and 1.e5 d5.

MatoJelic pretty good.

I recommend agadmator. Very instructive and easy to follow, and fast enough.

Metrowest chess club and NM Rob King is awesome.  The great thing is , is that the videos are interactive, you need to stop and think, all those other channels just spoon feed people.  You could watch them for a thousand years and never gain a single rating point.

Also he has a cool Croatian accent, instead of an annoying American accent. That matters to me.

I've watched a number of John Bartholomew's videos and I like his style of presentation. He's one of the few YouTube channels to do over-the-board presentations and I have been experimenting with this style myself. Anyone else like this format?
