Best chess entertainment on the internet?

Don't know where to start with, but ok. U.S. Chess Championships broadcasts on Youtube. You can skip the middleparts, sponsor interviews, if you so choose. Maurice is with his engines as always but overall chess entertainment can't get much better than this.

Blitz #1 herrahuu - carusospaskoski

I spent last days working on tactics only and this seems to pay off here. I go through my just finished game in realtime so that the move times mirror actual game.

Tactics against 1490 player.

After so many years it becomes apparent that tactics is the biggest gap between me and average of better players. I dabbled the longest time around same rating in blitz untill I spent more time in tactics and the differernce is huge.Here I had shot white with some accurate moves and here I have a really nice finish that will destroy white.

Do you see it?
