Art of Calm ♕ Capablanca vs. Marshall, 1918 ♔ ASMR

[@koreajawn6827]

asmr chess. you are going to be huge. keep doing what you're doing

[@ASMRChess]

fingers crossed! That's my dream you know :)

[@theprof92]

I first saw his original videos 6 years ago. They're great

[@bgmarshall]

It is great, but asmr as far as I know has a top sub count of less than 10mil, and same for chess. I'm not sure how many of these people overlap, so I don't think he can become huge Wouldn't be surprised if it's less than 5mil top subs for both

[@TheRealDustyMuffin]

@@ASMRChess If you can keep someone like me watching consistently for years (given i am an avid chess and asmr fan), then you have big potential. Just keep it up, your time will come!

[@believeonjesus7215]

Repent of sin! The Gospel: JESUS died for our sins on the cross, HE shed HIS holy, innocent , precious blood for us (HIS blood washes away ALL sins) HE was buried but on the third day GOD raised HIM from the dead. All you have to do to be saved is: Believe in JESUS, trust in HIS blood. JESUS did everything for you, no works are required for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9) . (Don’t forget to repent of sin. )! .

[@mrdawgpound28]

I think a great idea would be you talking about some of the greatest Grand Masters in chess history. Love the way you say "Capablanca." Great video as always!

[@ASMRChess]

I will definetely make more videos about the chess giants of the past. For now you can watch my 2 "immortal games" videos.

[@adamflux2]

Yes the context in the beginning really sets up the suspense, definitely looking forward to more like this one.

[@Danthrax81]

Imagine spending the time it takes to get a master's degree on a single chess opening, only to have it unraveled by a man in a single sitting.

[@musique-ef3rz]

Back when they didn't have engines lol

[@martinyeriksson]

@Paul Simon chess engines

[@randompersondontmindme]

I mean, Capablanca knows little opening theory, so to him it’s just a chess move attempting to attack lol

[@Danthrax81]

@@randompersondontmindme perhaps true. But that makes it even more impressive that he could calculate in advance without rote theory. Even modern GM's need a strong repertoire in theory to compete

[@randompersondontmindme]

@@Danthrax81 That's what makes Capablanca Capablanca

[@commanderhubert5659]

i love the variety, once we have some tutorial-like stuff, then we have pogchamps analysis, and then historical grandmasters. Also, i have trouble falling asleep to your videos, because your voice is just perfect for ASMR, but you are talking in such interesting way and about such interesting topics that i'm watching carefully instead of sleeping, and that's a weird compliment. Great video as always

[@williamwallace4080]

You can use it to relax!

[@unreeeal493]

Capablanca is my favorite player. The fact he was unbeatable in his country at 4 years old is absurd

[@ASMRChess]

Capa is an absolute legend, but it is not true that he was unbeatable in Cuba at 4 years old. In the Cuban championship in 1901 Capa was 12 years old and placed 4th losing both his games against Corzo. Capablanca is one of my all time favourites and he has some absolutely incredible feats. He was undefeated from February 10, 1916, when he lost to Oscar Chajes in the New York 1916 tournament, to March 21, 1924, when he lost to Richard Réti in the New York International tournament.

[@unreeeal493]

@@ASMRChess thanks for clarifying man, you're the best

[@obligatoryidiot]

@@ASMRChess Legendary. The fact that you have passion for your craft and not only do this for revenue is amazing. You know chesses' history in specifics from which world champion had lost in certain areas is absurd, my highest respect to you.

I fell asleep while watching this but then continued to finish it after waking up amazing video

[@martinyeriksson]

I just saw your old videos. You have become so much calmer and humbler, but also better at chess and explaining it.

[@pedroemmanuel772]

What a masterpiece of video, thank you for your unique way

[@MrMartinmozz]

Being playing chess on and off for years and had never noticed if a knight is on a black square it cannot move to a black square, and vice-versa! Interesting stuff, ty :)

[@BlunderBunny]

I love the way you tell the story of each game; you create a magical mix of instruction, entertainment and relaxation. Thank you!

[@pachanas703]

Me when minor pawn moves are described as genius: "Huh? What the hell does that accomplish?" Me after everything plays out: 🤯🤯🤯

I am the same tbh

[@mickeyvoges]

Congrats on 25k subs man! Cool to see you finally starting to get the recognition you deserve, hope the growth continues!

[@ASMRChess]

[@ASMRChess]

now at 40k+ so the growth has continued for at least some months. Very exciting.

[@mickeyvoges]

@@ASMRChess Happy for you man. I remember being perplexed back in the day that this type of growth just didn't seem to be coming. The size of your channel has never matched the quality of content, but you're finally on the way!

[@tc5328]

Love your vids man, haven’t played chess in years but these vids are super relaxing.

[@chrisrickenbach8167]

This was a great game! Trying to improve, so I set up my board and moved piece by piece, then tried to slow it down and think about why these moves were made. I appreciate the ASMR that you do and the educational aspect of something that you are so passionate about.

[@ASMRChess]

did you go over this particular game? I think that is a very good way to improve.

[@chrisrickenbach8167]

@@ASMRChess I did go over this game, following along piece by piece because I am thinking it is important to see these positions while sitting behind the board and seeing the pieces from that angle. Further chess study has shown me how important the pawns are and the value that good chess players put into them. Thank you again for providing this!

[@MrScarow]

Amazing commentary, very interesting and relaxing at the same time, thanks!

[@marguneri]

Thank you. Loving these new videos!

[@Ryan-rt7kj]

Eeeeeeeee another historical game!! My notification didn't come through so I'm late to the party but I'm very happy to see this! I was watching your old videos and remembering the days when I thought you had gone from youtube for good and I'm just so happy you're back in full force now.

[@ASMRChess]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@themadpsyentist4633]

One of my new favorite ASMR channels keep up the great content ;-)

[@Crazywrestler2000]

I learned a huge deal of just watching your videos. I am pretty sure everybody else who are watching your videos says the same thing. So keep it up what you are doing!

[@koryfowkes7047]

Fantastic content as ever. I remember when you had less than 10k subs. Your work ethic and effort into these videos is remarkable. You got me into chess when lockdown began last April and managed to somehow get me to a 1400 rating (which I fee isn’t too bad from a years play especially me!) I’m actually making an ASMR channel from tomorrow and would love to do a video playing you at chess some day.

[@LuciferArc1]

Perfect for my evening weekend naps. God I love this channel

[@u.v.s.5583]

What You probably didn't know is that there is a writer named Valeriy Segal, and he wrote a short story called Marshal's attack. It is totally the absolutely best fictional chess story ever written. Every chess fan should know it.

[@p1121-r8l]

Watched this video when it first came out and never noticed my comment in there at the start haha. Just wanted to say this is by far my favourite ASMR channel - please keep making such great videos!

[@funkym0nkee77]

*chefs kiss* perfection

[@u.v.s.5583]

The true genius was Capablanca's father. If I see it correctly, Capablanca himself, even though a true chess master, never managed to move his Knight from a white square to another white square in one move. Only his father knew the magical secret. I mean, that is a feat that even Stockfish can't repeat.

[@Artaxian_Debacle]

This is utterly fascinating

[@harrisferguson7786]

Better than expected, keep it up

[@jamesmeadowsiii]

These games are always fun for me. My story is somewhat like Beth Harmon's in the movie, I found a chess book by Tartakower called "500 Master Chess Games" when I was in school and fell in love with Chess. I grew up on the games of Capablanca, Marshall, Nimzovitsch, Tarrasch, Menchik, Rubinstein, and the players from that age. So many of them are forgotten or don't get the attention they deserve. It was such an incredible age of discovery. Steinitz's development of positional chess and many of the new strategies and opening ideas were still in infancy. The title of grandmaster was just being invented and even the title of World Chess Champion was relatively new. It was a time for exploration, discovery, and novelty that is missing in modern chess, where everything has become about lines calculated hundreds of times by computers and just trying to find small improvements in the lines of games that other masters have already played.

[@ASMRChess]

I very much agree. There is something truly magical about the era you describe. For me the era starts with Morphy and ends with Capablanca's defeat against Botvinnik in the AVRO tournament 1938.

[@drained1177]

We just cant stop you anymore, can we?

[@ASMRChess]

I'm going to do everything I can to post consistently throughtout 2021. At least. If the channel gains moment and becomes a serious source of income then I would love to just make ASMR Chess videos forever.

The most interesting part of the Marshall Gambit is that it came to him in a dream before he spent 8 years refining it. Only to have Capablanca refute it over the board.
