John is amazing, that fundamentals series was a huge help for me. Climbing the Rating Ladder is also explicitly for beginners and really good, he plays longer time controls and fully explains his thought process and line calculations as the games progress. So much good content on his channel.

Yeah, his lecture on pawns helped me a lot. Literally I never thought about pawn structures or pawn breaks before that lecture, and thinking about that improved my game tremendously.
