YouTube Channels Master Thread
« on: April 02, 2024, 03:26:40 PM »
Please post your favorite YouTube channels (if you think others may enjoy/find useful).  Also ask for recommendations.

Here are some of mine:
Outdoor Boys
Tasting History with Max Miller
TED-Ed

My fourth grader has become interested in chess, and I told him I would try to find a channel that teaches technique.  Anyone know of a good one?

My fourth grader has become interested in chess, and I told him I would try to find a channel that teaches technique.  Anyone know of a good one?

Indicate all titles of interest:

A) How to play chess by the real rules

B) Chess vocabulary (hanging, fork, fianchetto, deflection, skewer, zugzwang, etc)

C) Mating with a king and rook

D) The power of discovered checks

E) 5 bad opening moves to avoid

F) Win faster - seeing early mating opportunities

G) King-and-pawn endgame tips

H) Get good, shoyta

I) Choosing practice openings for your first ~800 tournament

J) RAISE Your WIN RATE By 36% With This One Weird Trick!*

K) Chess Drills - 50 puzzles in 75 minutes #44

L) The principles of the Middle Game according to Znosko-Borovsky**

M) Chess psych: Intimidate your opponents with body language and behavior

N) Tennison Gambit Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Variation***

O) Pawn Structure Theory 104

P) The Queen's Bishop's Pawn Game in the King's Knight's Opening****

Q) Variations of Praudhanaa's Defense against Albanian Key openings*****

R) Lentzmann vs Nizhny-Tajil at 1807 Peruvian Invitational*****, game 3, with extensive commentary by ArtScroll Staff

*Even chess masters often use somewhat sensational video titles. That's YouTube for you.
**Eugene A. Znosko-Borovsky was a real chess writer.
***An actual video.
****Howard Staunton, The Chess-Player's Handbook, publ. Henry G. Bohn, 1847, p. 182.
*****None of these are real. (Both times.)


In conclusion:
Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)
