TRUE! I never grasped the concepts in the video before watching and seeing the stuffed animals be brought out. Seeing which ones he brought to the board every time he tried leading us to the point made my brain latch onto it immediately.
@@Limepopsicle07I'm going to end up thinking about freakin puffins and octopuses and pandas everytime I'm trying to play a game of chess. Not that I mind!
This video is making me realise I was never taught chess beyond how pieces could move when I was little and from that I've just kind of blundered my way through games with only that knowledge rather than combining those movements with an actual strategy or any kind of plan at all. Thank you for the video!
Me and my partner had our first baby two days ago and I’m not saying I’m hormonal but the new cast of characters had me in buckets 😭 - please continue this series
It is criminal to watch your videos “before sleep”. They are masterpieces of chess-videos and lessons, better than the famous chess content creators I know. All respect and appreciation to you.
I never had a good relationship with my father, I remember being 8 years old and asking him if he could teach me to play chess and he refused. Years later he taught my younger brother and our cousin. Thank you for this video, not only has it helped me learn chess but it has helped me heal my inner child ❤
I'm so sorry for all the pain you must have been forced to carry. It was unfair, you were a child and were supposed to be loved unconditionally. Hope life is easier for you now
Something about this childlike vibe pairs so well with ASMR and educational content, and you pulled it off flawlessly for an entire hour! It reminds me of when you make the pieces talk - super cozy and relaxing. I hope this comes back in future :D And what a gorgeous mix. It's super bassy without being so resonant that it becomes pitchy/piercing. I think there's also some subtle stereo variation in the lower mids that adds that vibration-y feel that is *the* ASMR secret sauce for lower voices - I imagine you don't normally record your voice in stereo, so I wonder how much of your voice is coming in through the shotgun mics.
The mix is different in this one in that I’ve been able to target same crucial frequencies in the stereo pair of shotgun mics with the EQ and bring them down so they don’t get in the way of my voice coming through the third mic.
when bro says “YOUR MOM” at like 0:20 it sounds like a 12 year old in an call of duty black ops 2 lobby trying to offend someone only to get called racial slurs by a 27 year old
I’m 51 years old. Always played chess shooting from the hip. No plan. No strategy. No clue what I was doing. This video clearly falls into the “10 must see videos in your life” category. Makes you think a bit differently about the whole chess board. Thank you very much.
you healed my inner child, thank you. Playing chess with my father was a torture, he always obligated me and yelled at me to the point I hated playing chess, even though I was only a little girl and I didn’t understood all the tricks. In these years I found out how beautiful this game is, but I was always scared to try again because he made me feel stupid and scared of failing. Now with your video, you explained things so well and patiently that I almost cried. “you can either win or learn” I bawled my eyes out, thank you ❤
The moment when you said we I could come to you if I dont understand and you’d explain it over and over until I don’t need it anymore, I admit I started tearing up. Being treated with such patience in learning made me feel incredibly safe, especially since I was afraid of asking too many questions as a kid. Love this video a lot!!
What an adorable and creative idea!!!! I don’t know if it’s just me but being treated like a child makes me feel so comforted and safe. Maybe because it makes me feel like I’m young again and I miss that feeling ❤ you’re amazing! I’m so grateful to have found this video!
im not an adult yet, nor am i 5, but i still have a bunch of stuffies i sometimes play with, and they sleep by my side this gentle way of explaining chess with these little critters gives me a warm fuzzy feeling
As a 21yo: you are never too old for stuffies. :D I live with my brother now in our own apartment, and we have 2 huge bear plushies which we dress up for occasions with little party hats and shirts or sweaters. 10/10
Suuuuuch a good idea! Honestly, I often just barely understand some of the more advanced ideas in chess, but you broke this down so well that I thoroughly understood just about everything :D
watched this last night, ordered a chessboard this morning 😅 i’ve always been intimidated by chess, but you explained it in such an understandable and fun way. also, the audio is so crisp and just perfect. loved the tapping!! pls do more of that :') seriously, i adore this video (and all your other ones). thanks for this amazing quality content! 😊
Hey a fellow ASMRtist! Please consider making a video with that new chessboard of yours! You are really good at triggers and I’m sure you can get something really nice out of it! Welcome to chess :) I hope your journey into this beautiful game will bring you many fun experiences!
@@ASMRChess wow, thank you for recognizing me as a fellow asmrtist even though i upload so irregularly haha the chessboard arrived and it’s beautiful! i’ll definitely include it into my next trigger video! :)
i was GLUED to my phone screen at 2am through this entire hour long video, and that has never happened to me before the stuffed animals and simple explanations seem goofy on the surface, but i understood the whole thing perfectly and it taught me some great things about chess that i'd never even considered before! thank you ASMR Chess, thank you Pandora, thank you Octavia, thank you Plato, and thank you Bob :D
as someone whos recently found herself out as a middle/ age regressor, i really really love this video. my dad growing up was terrible and i never really got to experience being a little girl, and this helps a lot. i really really love your content!! ❤
this is an absolutely lovely concept; your creativity is off the charts. the audio is so crisp and relaxing. can't wait to fall asleep to this, thank you sir!
"You know what, If you don't get all the things I explain to you today, you know what you can do? You can come to me as many times as you want and I will tell you everything again and again until you don't need me anymore" That sounds comforting to me
I love this so much because my parents were very abrasive when teaching me anything and I really struggled with learning chess outside of the pieces. So a very patient and kind video teaching me a game I struggled with is healing my inner child a lot.
I need you to know that I’ve started watching this video every night to go to sleep. Explaining things in this way makes me feel so small and cared for, it’s been so long since I felt this kind of comfort. I’m also learning so much in the way of strategy! I knew what all the pieces did, but watching this made me realize I never knew how to *play* them. Thank you so so much for making and sharing this video, I really hope “explaining chess strategies as if you were 5” becomes a series! 💕✨💝
I love when people have just a random thing that they love and won't stop talking about. Random guy making chill chess videos for any and everyone? Yeah, sure, why not? chess is pretty cool rn but also HES DEDICATED A WHOLE CHANNEL TO HOURS AND HOURS OF PLAYING AND EXPLAINING CHESS LOL I LOVE IT
Videos that treat the viewer like an actual child have always been some of my favorites, and I used to play chess a decent amount as a little kid, so this video was very comforting to me :D
I have absolutely no desire to learn chess however, this video, more importantly: your voice, is so incredibly comforting I fell asleep right away! It’s also hitting the little child in me that never got much attention from my parents growing up. Thank you for the video!!
I find that being able to simplify a concept for a beginner/younger audience like this shows a very good understanding of the subject :) this is very impressive and well explained !
I don’t normally comment, but I’m amazed by how much effort you put in and I can tell you are trying your very best to make the best content possible. Just know that even though you might not get large amounts of views, the people that do watch your videos like myself extremely enjoy and appreciate what you create for us, the time will come, youtube is funny sometimes, don’t give up!
Any other agere kids out there watching this? I went to watch asmr before bed as I usually do and this video looked interesting. I was not expecting to instantly regress from how safe and comforting and little this is.
These "Chess like you are 5" videos are amazing, Im a big fan of being lulled to sleep with simple chess tips! The plushies for visual stimulation are also a huge plus.
This is the best chess explanation i've ever had !! It helped me understand weight better how to acctually play chess. And having the stuffued animals to explain the 3 main things to think about whene playing is such a great idea, and helps remember it better !! Having someone explaining it so nicely and softely is such a plesure ! ❤ I didn't know your chanel before, but i will now defently watch your other videos ! Thank you so much !!
this has made me realise i wasnt spoken to gently as a child. this made me realise how fast i mentally grew up. now im 19 and watching this :,) this heals my inner child. thank u
I just discovered your channel through this video and was about to try and sleep to it but I just realized I am gonna be far too invested in this. Time to save it for a day where I can just watch the whole thing while awake!
This is probably my favorite video of yours yet. Maybe I am childish? Or maybe I am too adult these days. Either way, thank you for making me feel so at peace :)
Greetings from Argentina! I've always loved your videos man, your voice has helped me to calm my stress a lot since last year. I still enjoy your videos so much. Keep up the good work, I know the chanel is not in its best time, but we still love your work man. ❤❤❤
This might be a different comment from what you usually get, but I was feeling pretty down and couldn’t fall asleep. Watching your video helped me cheer up, feel cozy, and distract myself from my own thoughts by listening to your explanation of the game. You were very soothing, calming, and whimsical even because of the cute little stuffed animals, which is what I needed. Thanks to you I got up, had dinner, and now feel better to go about to sleep. Thank you ❤
ive never been able to really *grasp* chess. Sure, i learned how the pieces moved, i knew what they did- but only now, have i learned a strategy. thanks ❤️ 🐼
I never properly understood how chess works until now. You make it sound so fun and a matter of creativity. I never looked past how the pieces move and now i feel like im actually learning how to play
I used to think chess was very difficult so I didn't bother to even learn it. But this video singlehandedly inspired me to learn chess for fun! I think chess can be quite mentally stimulating but also therapeutic in a way, because it makes one really focus on something and nothing else.
