The best videos are made by grand masters that go through games with engine and double check after the analyzing that they didn't miss something. This avoid bias due to inhuman computer lines. I loved to watch fabiano caruana comment live games... You can clearly see things very differently while engine monkeys are like "HOW COULD DING LIREN MISS THISSSSS". Personnal brag, yesterday I beat Firouzja in the french league... Sadly it was the Second Division, and it was Mohammadreza, the big brother, he is strong but plays very little. It was a bit uncanny to play someone who looked like Alireza :D It depends who you are really. A 2200 could make great chess videos for intermediate players. Personally I like GM Simon Williams. He's always been my favourite even though he isn't the strongest player by a long long way. For an intermediate player who likes tactical games GingerGM is the king. | ||

So is Benjamin finegold. A 2200 would make great video if he doesn't use engine to make it (even before hand) | ||

I met him and got to quickly talk with him at the end party of the Reykjavik open. He is one of the reason I now play the Jobava London, when I was looking for a new opening I stumbled first on his videos and then on Naroditski's. I didn't lose a single game with white. Beat even a 2300. 2 games were completely winning after the opening but ended drawing. Winning 31 elo and even finishing in front of a gm, I was quite happy with my tournament. Only lost the first and last game to 2300 and 2400. | ||

That's awesome that you got to meet him. He seems like a lovely chap. | ||
