Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-02-12  wordfunph: maybe related to Allyn Bartholomew - the featured player of First Moves / Chess News from Around the U.S. (Chess Life Magazine 2012 October).
Jan-08-15  kellmano: Bartholomew posts entertaining live commentaries of his online blitz games. I like them, as he is not focussed excessively on tactics. If I wanted to improve my game, I'd pay attention to them.

Dec-31-15  The beginner: He also has some good instructional videos on Youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6...

Jan-02-16  knighttoefour: Probably my favorite chess-related Youtube channel. Bartholomew is a very even-tempered guy, and his playing style feels very "classically positional". Seems like the type of player who might be a fan of Smyslov. The combination of his temperament and his play style makes for instructive viewing.
Nov-11-16  maelith: His Chess Fundamentals Series is Good. It will help novice players improve.

  GrahamClayton: John Bartholomew is an International Master from Eagan, Minnesota who has been playing, studying, and teaching chess for over 20 years. In 2002 John won the National High School Chess Championship, and in 2006 became an IM. After graduating in 2009 from the University of Texas-Dallas with a degree in Business Administration, John spent a brief time in law school before deciding to become a full-time chess teacher in 2011. As well as his Youtube channel, John also has interactive chess books available at chessable.com.
Dec-27-17  Granny O Doul: And perhaps a descendant of Cleopatra, if there is anything to the "bar-Ptolemy" etymological theory.
