Ben Finegold, though I've only discovered him 2 days ago, is one of the precious few that can explain chess so informatively and entertainingly at the same time. I think generally, people would find analyzing a game of chess to be one of the most excruciatingly boring things imaginable, but Ben Finegold proves them wrong.

Akobian is better. Finegold makes it too 'childish' and jokes too much. Akobian is a pro who also makes the viewer to think a bit instead of talking chess or dumb things all the time.

Leonid Zakharovich Stein (Леонид Захарович Штейн; November 12, 1934 - July 4, 1973) was a Soviet chess Grandmaster from Ukraine. He won three USSR Chess Championships in the 1960s (1963, 1965, and 1966), and was among the world's top ten players during that era.

There was one game, it is covered in Kasparov's book about Petrosjan and Spasski, where Stein played as black vs (Portisch? I can't quite remember) and just let one of his knights be taken by his opponent, played on without a care in the world and played a really nice game which he did not lose! I think it was a KID. I loved that game so much and it was very inspiring for me!
