Deeply in love with everything chess. I'm on RU-vid to share the beauty of all facets of the royal game in a relaxing manner for all tingleheads, insomniacs and people who capture en passant.

Don't you think that "greek gift" might be referring to the trojan horse? I know that it is accepted that it might come from Greco but I feel like the first option is the one that comes to mind immediately and is generally more cited.
I thought I'd come on here and say that you're great at teaching chess strategy and opening. I'm not too heavily into chess, in fact you're the only real teaching I get, but the videos you've made have helped me climb from 500-600 to ~950, though I now almost exclusively play the Sicilian and Queen's Gambit openings when I get the chance so I should probably brush up on other things 😂 I've used the Queen's pawn opening experience I have to teach myself a lot of London and King's Indian strategy as black, but back to the main point that you're a great teacher of chess and equally good at explaining higher level games to an ameteur like me, and it really helps!
The way you narrate chess games really makes them come to life, i get glued to the screen and cant stop watching until i know how it ends. Its like binging dragonball z
I started playing chess as a hobby because I met your channel. I still don't understand English at all, but I really like the atmosphere of your video. I want to improve my English and chess more❤
18:57 I probably would've played the risky move g4, hoping to trade off the pawn to open the diagonal. If Black plays g6 to defend the pawn, I play Queen to h6 threatening checkmate on g7 with the Bishop on e5. I feel like this line would've at the very least won me a pawn.
@@ASMRChess Also, I can't say it enough, I'd love to see videos about the English and Hippo system, because of how flexible they are (the unique thing is you can choose which side to attack as White or you can adapt as Black and either play a King's Indian or French style game).
EDIT: I checked with a computer, how wrong I was! Apparently the position after Kf8 Qh6+ Ke8 Rxg8+ Kd7 is better for black, and the king is completely safe. On the other hand, my idea Kf6 allowed a simple checkmate in one move: Qe5#. This is why I am not a world champion. 22:47 I believe your move Kf8 is a mistake, and could be met with Qh6+ (Rg7 Qxg7 etc.) Ke8 Rxg8+ etc., winning back a rook after trading two bishops for two pawns (slight material advantage, plus significant attack on black king). I'm not sure about this but I think the winning move would have been Kf6, with the idea that the rook on g8 defends the g5 square which would otherwise be checkmate, the rooks defend each other, Qh6+ can be met with Rg6, and on Qh4+ the black king boldly marches forward to f5, finding safety (yes, the white queen can capture the bishop on e7, but this is not enough to compensate for the material sacrificed). Can anyone confirm this?
I really like that you thought deeply about the moves and also checked it with the computer! Shows that you are paying attention and thinking for yourself!
My favorite part about this channel is that I normally can come in for the chess and stay for the ASMR. Sometimes a cool chess story with points of interest to learn from accompanied with a soft voice and the clacking of the wood pieces can put me into my night routine. However, some nights, I'm tired. I just want to go to bed. I look for a new video and see ASMR Chess drops something new and a sort of magic happens: I come for the ASMR and stay for the Chess.
I've been a fan since way back. I was the 7th viewer of one of your earliest videos. Top notch content. I pray the best for you--professionally, and, even more so, personally. Thank you so much for sharing a piece of yourself with the world.
This channel is soo good bc you make digestible chess walkthroughs (?) for amateur chess players, yet interesting theory commentary for experienced players. I’m leaving this video on repeat to raise my watch time 😉
Good question! In most high level tournament they play double round robin. For normal open tournaments they use some sort of algorithm but I dont know exactly how it works.
