This Trick Won Me 100 Games of Chess ♔ ASMR

[@commanderhubert5659]

I think it would be really cool if you did a series about some chess openings, like sicilian, french, caro-cann etc, with variations and stuff. Love your videos!

[@ASMRChess]

It's a great idea and such a series will definetely come at some point. Everybody reading who thinks the series should come sooner rather than later give this comment a thumbs up :)

[@pridestalker132]

Its amazing how much your ASMR has evolved over the years. You have become so skilled at being both instructive and relaxing. Its been amazing to see how much you've progressed over the years. It looks like you're on the cusp of blowing up, and I really hope you do!

These videos are such a treat. I love having both views of the board, hearing you clink the peices together as you attack, the mix of whisper and soft spoken. I could keep going:) thank you so much

[@Patrickbasedmanyt]

Isn't this trick called "the Greek gift" ? GM Ben Finegold made a very complete lesson about it! I clicked for the tingles anyway!

[@ASMRChess]

In a way yes. The greek gift is any bishop sac on h7/h2 after castling. Greco's pattern utilizes a greek gift, but it is the specific arrangement of the pieces that form this pattern that I'm focusing on.

[@Patrickbasedmanyt]

@@ASMRChess Oh okay thanks for the clarification. Keep up with the amazing work!!

[@IlPandaGamer]

Grego in Italian means also greek, the greek gift is just a wrong translation because that sacrifice takes his name, so it should be the Greco gift

you are right. Sorry, that's a little embarassing. I just saw that Qd3+ led to the same mate that was in my puzzles video and then I got excited for that and didn't stop to analyze properly. Of course mate in 1 beats mate in 2.

[@drained1177]

Nice timing, i was just searching for my daily dose of ASMR.

[@Ekid33]

In the line around 14:00 there's a beautiful checkmate in one with g4#.

[@specularspaghet4449]

Fun fact if you do see this: back in the day the best move WAS h5+, but now that en passant was invented and is now a rule of chess, it is Qd3+, because if f5 you en passantt it, if king moves it is Qh7#, so if he had played Kh6 it would be much worse of a calculation for black

[@jessepirrotta861]

I recently got into Chess because of your channel and I absolutely love the game! I discovered you from your StarCraft 2 video, as a StarCraft 2 player and ASMR fan I loved it, and in the video you made a lot of connections between StarCraft and chest which eventually led to me checking it out, I'm not that good right now, but learning has been extremely fun!

[@SleepSensation_]

Thank you for this! Love the videos

[@flipwonderland]

at 13:09 the fastest checkmate is actually pg4, and at 13:20 you can go for swag points by sacking your queen to a6 and you have mate in 4

[@MrScarow]

Really cool and interesting ! Thank you very much !! :) It was very relaxing as well, can't wait to see your next video

I am more and more amazed of the complexity of such a simple looking game... it’s one of the best human inventions in my opinion. Beautiful really.

[@XxXRedSn0wXxX]

Before I fell asleep I managed to spot some variants: After Kg6 I would prefer Qd3+ instead of h5+, cause if black plays Kh6, then just Qh7#, if you try to block with f5 - exf6 and you can't even run to f7 cause of the knight on g5. So the last opportunity is Kh5 but then g4+ Kxg4 Qf3#

[@shinguasu4286]

Chess and relaxation, what else can I ask for?

[@alexbarcovsky4319]

I have learned way more from these videos tham gotham or even hikaru. Maybe because I am a 1200 and you are around 1500 so I can really see the small differences between mine and your play, compared to some IM or GM that is way ahead in every chess concept. Combine that with the calming nature of these videos, it actually helps me think faster (because I am not so stressed anymore while playing). So as paradoxical as it may seem, I actually play faster than my oponents thanks to HSMR. Also when I started watching, i was a 1000, got to 1200 mainly thanks to your videos. Hope to battle you soon on an even ground

Please, I need to know how to defend against the Bongcloud attack! That would be a great video!!

[@ASMRChess]

there is no defense against an opening as strong as the Bongcloud. I've heard that some top grandmasters are working on something called the Double Bongcloud with Ke7! but I don't know if it is true.

[@unknowncaller2597]

If they premove e5 ke6 then u can also premove e4 then take on e5#

[@sunbro8881]

30k good work man

[@pdm_oblivion613]

I feel like I am missing something but at 13:07 instead of queen to d3, isn't there checkmate in the same amount of moves if you go queen to f3? The queen isnt needed to block g6 because the h pawn already defends that square. The only move I see for black with queen to f3 is to move the knight from d5 to f4 and then the queen captures knight on f4, guarded by the dark square bishop for the mate. I mean, unless I have missed something which is entirely possible since I'm not very good, it's a preference thing but still mate in 2.

[@Zanarax]

[@3DCGdesign]

At 18:00 Black Rook to F7 sacrificing the Rook would save the King... and likely lead to trading the queens where Black Knight could capture the White Queen at D8 after she captures the Black Queen. So unless white is willing to trade queens isn't the game still on? What am I missing? I'm just a beginner. I've watched this video many times, and thank you so much for making it! I fall asleep every time but feel like it's making me smarter somehow.

[@memenchomezov]

If black try to sacrifice the rook then white do Not need to capture the rook, but can go for the mate with queen on h8

[@SchneiderOSRS]

13:10 the fastest mate is just g4# instead of the Qd3+ kg4 Qh3# that you showed

[@battleframestudios8989]

13:30 Wouldn't it have been faster to checkmate with G4 while the knight still covers that center square?

It youre ever looking to do some easier content, the chessboard sounds definitely bring the most tingles, so I find myself re watching these a lot.

If this clashes with your artistic process or something totally ignore me, but I think many of your subscribers would enjoy and rewatch them.
