Note

• There are no doubt thousands of chess videos on YouTube. I ought to do a survey.
• So far, I've only watched the series below which is basically a series of rapid games put out by an enthusiastic but rank amateur assisted by Israeli GM Tal Baron (see Wikipedia: Tal Baron).
• The GM has two main tips as to what a player should do in any position:-
  → Check for any potential threats your opponent has
  → Try to improve the position of your worst-placed piece
• Videos:-

• Someone has recommended Agadmator's Chess Channel, but I've not followed it up, except:-
  1. YouTube: Agadmator - Modern Chess Brilliancy || Fischer vs Tal || Leipzig Olympiad (1960) is a bunch of fireworks, which deserves close study.
