Two underrated Youtube channels for FIDE 1800+ players
It’s tough to find chess content on YouTube geared for higher level club players, presumably because the audience is much smaller than videos for beginners and low intermediate players.
Danya was really the only one I could find for a long time, as well as adhoc lectures on the St Louis Chess Club and ChessDojo (mainly US Chess School lectures) channels and watching commentary streams (again, St Louis Chess Club commentary is excellent).
But I’ve recently come across two very underrated channels that are producing high quality videos for 1800+ players on a regular basis:
GM Mihail Marin — mostly focuses on game analysis between GMs, including many classics from the likes of Fischer, Alekhine etc. Marin is an acclaimed author, most famous for his book Learn from the Legends
GM Arturs Nieksans — more “lecture” style with bootcamps on different openings, pawn structures, and endgames, as well as analysis of his own games. Nieksans was GothamChess’s coach for a while
Since these are both smaller channels, it’s nice that you can ask questions and have a pretty good chance of getting a response directly from a GM.
Any other good 1800+ channels I should know about?
