Answers.Body: <p>You can get a lot out of the Banter Blitz videos (served by YouTube) by <a href="https://chess24.com/en/live/video/c54f29aeec-banter-blitz-with-jan-gustafsson" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Chess24</a>. The link shows an example by GM Jan Gustafsson, but there are other masters offering similar material. Much of the content is free.</p>
  
  <p>You said you weren't particular about the content, but you might find it interesting to know that these videos involve the master explaining what's going on during a blitz game they're playing, and what they're thinking while they play. As a result, you will get advice about openings, learn to spot the kinds of mistakes their opponents make, pick up some endgame theory, and even get some in-game commentary on tournaments, personalities, and history.  A very enriching experience, overall.</p>
  
  <p>I find the format where one game at a time is played, start-to-finish, more enriching than the simul display formats that are offered elsewhere, such as at ICC.  For one thing, in the simul format the master is often playing as fast as possible, with very little time for talk. On the other hand, in the one-at-a-time format, the master can advise/warn/speculate/muse/babble during the opponent's think time. I find that the content is just richer with this format.</p>
