Chess and Go channels on YouTube
I have over 200 text files with a choice of YouTube channels on various topics, most of them with selected videos for later reference. I might never be able to really organize them, but I’ll put here one of the simplest such files, as it only includes a few channels, even if one of them with a copious selection! Note that these channels are not for experts, quite the contrary!
Go (Weiqi, Baduk, Igo, Goe) channels
■ Go Magic (for beginners)
■ dwyrin
Chess channels
■ the chess nerd (Zachary Saine)
■ Chess Vibes (NM Nelson Lopez) + a secondary channel: Chess Adventures

An impressive list!
I added more selections from Chess Vibes.
Even in chess, I dislike YouTube or Twitch personalities (I still believe they’re narcissistic), but I happened to discover Alessia Santeramo (WFM), married to Noël Studer (GM). A few videos caught my eye:
❶ Jan 24, 2026: I Tested the Worst Chess Opening (to prove they don’t matter).
Obviously, Grob’s Attack (1. g4), something that I once literally liked!
Wikipedia says: “Despite its dubious theoretical reputation, in practical play the Grob attack wins at least as often as it loses against almost any reply by Black, according to database of 477 Grob-attack games on chessgames.com.”
Remote Chess Academy claims a 76% win rate: Most Underrated Chess Opening: Grob’s Attack (YT video).
Maybe because it’s not really studied, so people are surprised, and they might fall for some typical traps.
❷ Dec 7, 2024: I Tested The Most Aggressive Chess Opening.
King’s Gambit.
❸ May 15, 2025: I Tested The Most Aggressive Opening vs 1.d4.
❹ May 30, 2026: How To Actually Use Puzzles To Improve Your Chess Skills.
