Hikaru's videos are very entertaining. This[0] was pretty fun to see. Not the best example of his instructional videos.

GM Daniel Naroditsky's channel[1] is the best instructional I have seen. His speedrun series is very good. He takes the time to stop and explain his thought process while playing the game. And then after few games he does a deeper analysis and answer any questions. The moment that sold me was when he showed how they use chess engine to do preparations at their rating level.

On a side note, I have been working on a bughouse[2] chess web app in my spare time[3]. It's not ready for HN traffic yet though. Bughouse is not getting a Queen's Gambit anytime soon. But I would love to see more steam behind online bughouse as well. It is my favorite variation. The need for team work and communication makes it very lively.
