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.

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.

and yet another, Jerry from ChessNetwork

https://www.youtube.com/user/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.

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.
