user269: What are good YouTube channels that help to improve our chess? 
Channels which are analyzing their own games (Blitz, standard, OTB) or discussing tactics, strategies, etc. 
I list some of these channels in the following. 
Please share your favorites. Note that here we are interested in channels with learning material not channels with plenty amount of advertisements or fun.
Channels here are ordered arbitrarily with no preferences:

IM Andrew Martin Chess Videos
John Bartholomew
Chess Network
Simon Williams
Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis
kingscrusher
GJ_Chess

There are some other channels such as OnlineChessLessons, which are good but they are more introduction to openings. If one wants to go deep into something then have to pay for their videos but a simple blitz game analysis by IM or GM or even a normal good player can give more insight than an introduction to an opening X.
 P.S0: Notice that I'm not looking for good online resources like this question: 
Free learning material, also not only for the beginner rather for advanced players. 
I want to be strict only on YouTube channels, as the other question does not cover even the channels that I've already subscribed.

user21511: FedaMaster brings you guys one of the most entertaining and educative chess channel.
Chess stream videos regarding combinations, tactics, interesting blitz games against established GMs and also commentary on chess games are also available on this youtube channel.
Strongly Recommended to subscribe https://youtu.be/y38OFhyCKsA  :)

user10065: I agree with several posters above that John Bartholomew's channel is perhaps the best for somewhat experienced amateurs. His jovial personality, his communication skills and his teaching abilities have great appeal. Also, his natural style of positional play is something I think many maturing chess players can relate to.
Here are some others (not mentioned above) that deserve honorable mention for both entertainment value as well as learning:

Chessbrah (Eric Hansen)
PowerPlayChess (Daniel King)
Daniel Rensch (chess.com)


user10887: If you want to learn specific openings, traps, and strategies, I suggest TheChessWebsite's youtube channel.
Also, Kevin does a lot of analysis of games between Grand Masters both historical and modern, and even covers some games involving chess computers. I find that these are great for learning the subtle tactics of higher level play, and understanding how my own play is different. Also, it lets you see what the masters are actually looking at and the way in which they plan movements.
I would like to point out this is not a good channel for "learning" chess, however it is great for furthering and expanding your own knowledge.

user11775: There's also a relatively unknown channel of GM Tal Baron.
Like the channels mentioned in dfan's answer, GM Tal Baron also commentates while playing Blitz.

user12008: In addition to John Bartholomew and ChessNetwork, there are a ton of other interesting and entertaining channels.  I have about 30+ YouTube chess channels listed on a page on my blog if you're interested in a brief explanation of each. 

user19142: For an analysis of master games, check out agadmator's Chess Channel.
He shows why the "obvious" move shouldn't be played, and then explains the more subtle, but better move.
He keeps it interesting by sometimes adding jokes in, and sometimes asks the viewer what the best move is.
This channel is mainly for expanding knowledge, not learning how to play.

user10075: IM Eric Rosen has a YouTube channel in which he frequently posts stream supercuts and game analyses. His content is less focussed than other "learning resource" style channels, but his videos contain lots of information on different aspects of the game (particularly for lower level players).
His videos also happen to be very entertaining.

user-1: I like these 3:

Dereque Kelley's channel on the openings goes through the key strategic ideas, for both sides, of many of the most popular mainlines
Claus Jensen's channel. I particularly liked his series on the exchange sacrifice
Chess.com's channel, covering a wide range of chess topics from learning the rules to taking the initiative


user2792: From one of my previous answers:
(1) Majnu. Especially check out the "Chess middlegame training" and "Practical chess endgames" playlists. I like Majnu's videos because, not only is he a good player, but he also manages to explain ideas and plans in chess in a very simple manner. The concepts really stick in your mind, and you get to actually use them in your games. And from the way he explains things, you can see that he loves the game, which is also inspiring. I recommend Majnu highly (especially to beginners).
(2) SeanGGodley. Excellent analysis of famous games and players. The book "My system" by A. Nimzowitsch is considered to be one of the most important books in chess history, and Sean has a playlist dedicated to this book. Excellent and (pretty) detailed analysis make him one of my favourite YouTube channels for improving my game. Also, Sean is a great narrator in my opinion, and that makes it easier to follow his thoughts. However, Sean's videos are maybe too much for beginners.
(3) thechesswebsite. Many instructional videos on openings and traps, as well as other topics (like tournaments, players etc.). All in all, a very good channel to improve your game.

user9304: Chess24 also seems to provide high-quality "Banter Blitz" videos (in English, German, and Spanish) which are quite useful for seeing the thought process of GM level play at 3 to 5-minute time controls.

user291: ChessExplained is the channel of IM Cristof Sielecki. Most of the videos are him thinking aloud while playing blitz, and they provide excellent insight into the mind of an IM.
IM Greg Shahade has a similar channel as well. He is a bit more entertaining and less instructional than ChessExplained.
