Great resources to learn chess?

Lasker's classic, if youre just beginning. By 'resources' (you) mean books, right?
...
I've heard good things about Jeremy Silman's books if you know most of the beginner stuff.
Probably the best thread on Veeky Forums right now
Just beginning? Take a free course on chess.com to learn what pieces go where etc. move along from there. Intermediate? Renaud's The Art of The Checkmate is the first book you should read. Although it's classical notation so it will take a bit longer than usual. After this Silman's Complete Endgame Course will take you far.
You see chess is correctly learnt backwards. Endgame-middlegame-opening. The goal of chess is to capture the opponents king. This can only be achieved by having a plan for the future ahead and carrying it out in the quickest and most efficient way possible.

This guys channel is really good if you know nothing about chess. The problem with a lot of youtube content is that it is aimed at people who are already fairly good it at. This guy is aimed at the just starting audience.
Study old games played by grandmasters and you will do well
This isn't good advice if you know nothing about the game. It's like saying just analyze the works of the great composers even though you don't know any music theory. You need to understand the game to a reasonable degree before the masters become useful at all.
