Kingscrusher is a user on YouTube who has a ton of great chess videos. He covered the Sinquefield quite a lot - here's the first encounter between Carlsen and Caruana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfgRWM6IfP0&list=UUDUDDmslyp...

And all of his videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/kingscrusher/videos

I know they're pretty long (often 45 mins or more), but if you're a big chess fan they're pretty awesome.

The level that these super GMs play at is astounding.



Just want to mention another great publisher of Chess analysis on Youtube - Daniel King.

and yet another, Jerry from ChessNetwork

I stumbled across one of his videos, not being much of a chess person, and have watched probably a hundred since and love chess now. he's a US Master.


it should also be mentioned that Jerry's commentary is _hilarious_ - he's basically the SeaNanners of chess.


Daniel King's daily reports on several elite tournaments over the past few years are excellent. For anyone interested in chess, I highly recommending watching his archived videos on youtube.


Another user on YouTube who does excellent educational chess videos, including reviews of the games from this year's Sinquefield Cup, is Chessexplained, at https://www.youtube.com/user/Chessexplained/videos


There's also Andrew Martin, well worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/user/YMChessMaster/videos


Greg Shahade is really entertaining as well.
