Congrats on 50K!

Congrats man, I know you’ve been working hard for this and it is 100% well deserved, now let’s get to 100k subs!!!

Fantastic as usual. Hope you keep growing and mantaining the amazing work.

I really enjoy 2 chess channels. Yours and Chess Network. He's not asmr per se but it works like it sometimes. What I really enjoy is how you and Jerry explain concepts and involve audience w problems on board. I usually don't like male asmr as much but between your tone, accent, and way you speak... it works.

Knew you could do it! looking forward for the 100k milestone

Congrats this is the first time I have ever commented I really liked that sicillian defense video you did I hope you can mkae more of those or the immortals!

Congratulations!! I’ve been watching you since 20k and now u have 50k that’s amazing! Keep working and thanks for your videos

Congrats again! Wanted to say thanks for being so awesome about answering our questions. Even the ones that didn’t make it into the video! 😁

Congrats!!! Super deserved

Congratulations! now we marching to 100k like a passed pawn

Fell asleep watching this but then dreamt I was still watching it - that was an interesting Q&A!

Congrats, see you soon for the 100k celebration!

Next goal 100.000 subscribers👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

good job man keep up the vids bro they are really relaxing thx

Could you recommend a dgt that I could use to play over the board with friends on lichess? Your board is beautiful BTW. Warm virtual hugs!

Congrats on 50k! You are truly my favorite ASMR. I appreciate the words about female participation in chess, especially the last sentiment "we should let some women figure it out"!

Congrats!

And you deserve more

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Let's get to 100k now!

I can't wait to get in bed and watch this!!!

Here a year later and you're damn near at 100k more than this special

Hey! Someone stole my f*** marry kill! Dangit! XD

Best

37:23 Did I just get rickrolled mid ASMR?

Great job keep it up (If you like it, I do haha)!

Regarding the question at 39:09, we love your content, your energy and your personality so much, we’ll watch anything you produce! Just as long as you enjoy it, so will we

congrats! i can’t wait to be there for a million too!!

Congrats on 50K again bro 🥳 You really are the "king" of the ASMR world! 1:22:54 And of course! Even if it's off camera.. I want to test my skills again 😈

I love your historic games, especially when you go into the variations of lines. truly top tier content.

Congratulations on the 50.000 subscribers! I've been a subscriber for at least 6 years now I believe, and I will stay here forever. On to the 100K!!!

I laughed so hard at the “kiss marry kill: morphy, tal, fischer” and how he still took the time to legit think it out

I just recently realized that you also play MtG! Holy crow, this channel is incredible. 50k is verrrrrry well deserved, but we all know you're going way way beyond that. Thank you again for all the incredible content.

I used to play chess at a very young age of approximately 5 and it was kinda fun. Since i saw your videos i fell in love with chess, because you describe chess moves with passion and intent. My favourite video is the Sicilian Defence.

What chess board do you have? I love this one, have been wanting a good one for a centerpiece in my living room

Thank you for answering my question! You’re awesome as always. Let’s hope this chanel keeps on growing!

Congrats! You deserve every single one of them. Even more in my opinion. I love your channel and I like your style!

Started following you around 2015 and it fills me with so much joy that you now got 50k subscribers. Your voice is amazing! Keep doing you bro!

Congrats man! the growth is exponential, you'll see 100k in no time! thanks for all the great content!

Congratulations! Impeccable ASMR. Impeccable Chess content. Very much appreciate your efforts.

The thing is, for most people if they wanna become better at chess, they will probably go to some sort of big channels, which all of us know and I dont feel like adverting them HERE. However why I love this channel so much is, that they get over variations very quickly and its hard to get the idea why this is good or bad. However YOU take things slowly, calmly take your time. Efficiently speaking it is bad, but its just my speed. I love your channel and I would love to see more guides - how to play sicilian, how to play london, kings indian defense, and so forth. I am pretty sure I am not alone who would love you to make such guides! Edit: I know you have made sicilian guide - and its been wonderful. But its just one variation of sicillian defense, correct? Make them all my friend!

First he said 100K subscribers then realized that was in the pipeline, then goes to 1 million. Again realized he wasn’t gonna rule it out and entirely rules out the idea of a face reveal for now 🤣. Love ASMR chess so so much, and I’d like to imagine that exact phrasing he used was a sign of confidence!

Congratulations man! I’ve only recently found your channel a few months ago and I’ve been watching your videos none stop! They help me sleep every night and your voice is so relaxing! 100k incoming very soon 😃😎

This is already my third time rewatching😂great video! Also decided to change my RU-vid name after u read it out on my question (formerly UrMumGeyLul) sorry about that

I noticed a red badge next to the name of some commenters, do you have any idea what those indicate?

I remember back when you disappeared with 4k subscribers. I'm so glad your channel has grown a lot since then!

Wow, your ratings speak for themselves but they could never describe your genius. Thanks for your passion and insight!

Please do NOT change how u record or film. So many asmr creators change after so many subs and it ruins it. Don’t let it change how u do ur videos

CONGRATS!!! I’ve been subbed for a month and this is such a great channel! Keep up the great work!

Me freaking out hearing someone actually say the words “Ephemeral Rift” finally someone has common taste w mine in asmr :)

100k new goal.... let's go!!!

Congratulations ASMR Chess!!

Love your vídeos!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I love if you could do one full whispers instead of soft spoken ❤️❤️

Make a move like chess then checkmate I make a move like check, nigga then checkmate Move like chess, nigga, checkmate I make a move like chess, nigga Then I yell checkmate -MF DOOM

he uses sennheiser… he’s a top tier audiophile. top 2 audio company ever. i have a degree in electroacoustics and i’m one of the top 100 audiovisual specialists in the world, hopefully going to be a siemens/phonak employee upon the graduation of my doctorate. he knows his f-ing shit

if you really like poetry/lyricism and want to get more into rock. i recommend bob dylan!

its hard to watch the entire video i always fell asleep after watching asmr chess i dont know why but it is what it is

You have a Cmit and a pair of MKH50 (both my standards for field recording), but recording them with a H6 !? Boi, that hurts the sound engineer I am... Still love you, but still hurt

You continue to share such a wondrous, magnificent gift with the world, in such a wonderful, magnetic manner. Incredibly insightful, always articulate, enigmatically engaging. So proud of you! Thank you for nurturing my love and fascination for chess.

Every time I watch one of your videos I swear I can smell the wood of the chessboard.

Hi Sir, thanks a lot for your videos!!! I wish you the best :)

Respects for you chess asmr even in low or high valume it sounds relaxing

Please do NOT do a face reveal! I love that you are just a voice talking about chess, I don't want to be distracted with knowing what you look like, if that makes sense?

He replied to my question 🕺🕺🕺🤗 congratulations on 50k 👑

Thank you for your great answer ! And also for your amazing content ☺️

20:35 this microphone is AMAZING - please use this one forever lol.

I DEEM IT THAT THIS CHANNEL SHALL REAch 1 MILLION!!! SUBSCRIBERS!!!

How do you fight the urge to just give up at the first sign of losing? I resign games in two moves sonetimes. If their rating is high, sometimes 1. How do you find the willpower to fight on when you already know youve lost?

happy 100k! you've exploded in growth!

50,000 sub this is too less chess + Asmr I love asmr and chess and it is both.

50 cent reference here? Never would have thought it. Impressed

proud of you man i watch every upload without fail :)

Congrats friend! I really enjoy your videos, thanks

Vintage OnlyFans content too! Keep up the spicy work.

Screw youtube for putting me on this video in the middle of the night

Thanks for all this great content and gratz on all the weivers

Congrats!!

Would love some philosophy stuff. I'm a big fan of John Locke personally.

Congrats on 50k :)

Half way to silver button!

I just got rickrolled by a Asmr chess creator.

I love your videos man. Like you’re so underrated.

When you were here before 50k Look of superiority:

Maybe a new magic video at some point? would love an update on your format/league/group you play with, has your deck changed at all since the last video?

Congrats on 50k! You deserve it after all the interesting and captivating videos you have made for us. This channel is truly something special!

This is so much like your original stuff. Mix between whisper and super soft spoken. You need more of this I pass out within 30 minutes and that's fighting the z monster. So glad you hit 50k. You rock!!

“i’m kind of a private person.” real.

I love the graveyard/night walk videos a lot and I'd welcome more like that (maybe because I'm not personally into chess really so it's a bit bias), your chess content is awesome of course and I think you have a gift for ASMR regardless of the content :)

Wait... All of these people asking for a face reveal made me wonder... Did you delete/privatize the video of you trying to rescue one of your friends fiance while running around the town in an animal suit? Or am I totally making this video up....

Congratulations for getting 50K! Maybe one day you'll make it to 50M! If you're interested in higher dimensional Chess, there's actually a game on Steam called "5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel." While the name is rather misleading since the 3rd spatial dimension goes unused, I have personally had an absolute blast trying it out with my friends and solving some of the puzzles that it gives you. My only complaint is that it doesn't really do an amazing job at teaching you how to play

Congrats on 50k! I don’t really play chess or know much about the game but your videos really make me want to learn. I try to learn and pick up some tips but I often fight sleep to do so :) Keep up the amazing videos really and wish you the best. 100k will come fast!

I can NOT BELIEVE that this channel only has 50k subs. Should have 6 figure if not 7 figure subs. Keep up the great work bud!

Super awesome that you hit 50k!!!🎉 I honestly forget when I subscribed at but I’ll definitely still be around for the next 50k, awesome and really unique videos!!!

Thanks for answering my question! Really appreciate your advice, I’ll definitely try putting it into practice! (Also my username is just a lame play on words for Don Quixote btw haha)

wooah.. I've been subbed so many years now

A horse sized duck wouldn't be able to stand straight. The biomechanics just wouldn't work.

Dont take the Foot of the Gas now 🚀Momentum is building and sooner than later you’ll be at 100K+. Love to see it Brother may the RU-vid Algo Bless u.

Oh my god I got answered :D So happy. I am so glad you consider some openings that I like really solid :) Hope you’ll make another Q&A when you reach 100k.

Your Rick roll was funny as hell!
