CAUTION: This Rapid chess video may put you to sleep #6

I late-join an Hourly Rapid Arena and share my train of thought as I play 7* games with time control 10+0. This arena began on January 19th, 2024 at 9:00 PM EDT. Many viewers over the years have expressed that these slower time control games act as a sleep aid. You may find that watching these rapid games may help you to improve your chess or help you to reach the rapid eye movement stage of sleep. Enjoy either way. 😊
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

Well said, I don’t eith

[@GamesAreForKids91]

Jerry, as somone who had recently went through a tramatic experience and has been struggling to sleep, these videos bring me so much comfort. I cant be left alone in silence or I cant sleep, and ive found the generic white noise videos unhelpful. You're soothing voice and calm gait is something so naturally peaceful to listen to. I appreciate the high level analysis as well. Each video, a gift from a master at work. Thank you.

[@ChessNetwork]

❤️

[@liammcconville5390]

I never fall asleep during your videos I'm too busy taking a thing or two away from them

[@dannytran1587]

Pay attention as long as you can then fall asleep

[@xtripx4273]

As always, feel free to realize that every video you publish is a valuable learning experience for me. Your teaching style is brilliant, the best by test!!

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you

[@z0rnik478]

please do more of these

[@LthiagoR]

Watching the way a master thinks boosts my confidence!! Because Jerry's thoughts are ones I could get to have at some point with enough practice. There isn't even much calculation, just logical thinking!

[@Forditude69]

I'm fairly sure he is actually checking a lot of lines as he goes but only comments about main lines/threats.

[@rossncofer]

you know what i love most is that u dont have piece sounds on i dont know why but my dog hates that noise thanks for being dog friendly chess

[@Lex-gr1ko]

we love dogs and chess, how are they called?:>

[@MyNarrowRoad]

This actually kept me awake instead of making me sleep somehow I think it was because of me being stressed at the moves you made

[@flinty8121]

Very grateful for these Jerry. Blessed to have two so soon back to back.

[@Aji-llo]

These are my favorite!! Thank you Jerry!

[@jaym6945]

This is so interessssss....

[@frequensea9434]

Jerry I like watching your chess recap videos but I LOVE watching you play rapid and going for cheeky fishing poles.

[@bartman898]

I really like these slower games. It allows me to follow along

[@dudeimdudely7477]

Just woke up from a short sleep, counting on this one to get back to sleep

[@ivytutoring]

putting rain sounds in the background and this is perfect

[@iamalittleboat]

Best sleep I've had in weeks, thanks!! 😂

[@ChessNetwork]

[@BarziniNwa]

I’m learning how to be patient from watching your games and so far I’m seeing good results. Thank you

[@ChessNetwork]

Great to hear. Continued success 👍

Will be so grateful for more of these rapid tournaments or a mash up of some individual matches combined together. Keep up the good work! You’re helping us all 🌈🧚🏻‍♀️🤩✌🏻

[@MindFlowersDotNet]

Great commentary and analysis! Very instructive at a cool time control.

[@KillianDefaoite]

I love these rapid videos please do more

[@ChrisConnett]

Hey Jerry, I'm loving the long form videos, especially when they're labeled so I can plan to watch them at a more relaxed pace.

[@moesheri9385]

Thx Jerry😊

[@solidcents2761]

Thanks Jerry I can finally sleep

[@Kjeldsen4]

[@WtItCbtLoR]

Thanks, Jerry. I really learn a lot watching these streams.

[@terraincognita1481]

Awesome video, just wanted to go to sleep! Thanks Jerry! Always watch until the end, even when sometimes I'm falling asleep :)

[@TheStickCollector]

Rapid Sleep and Rapid Eye movement

[@ChessNetwork]

Makes sense 😎

[@shawnv123]

rapid vids are good jerry

[@LukeWilliamsMusic]

Board vision is incredible. Keep it up Jerry

[@ultang]

Hi Jerry it's everyone

[@integrantedavidanoturna]

Hi everyone it's everyone

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

That was as usual fun and helped keep me awake during my night shift. Thanks Jerry.

[@trinamnguyen9002]

Good as always, thank you Jerry!

[@majidkor.]

My phone battery died 3 times while watching this video 3 nights in a row 😂

[@stevenorth1564]

Thank you J always a pleasure to watch and pick up a tip or two usually. One note on your queen gambit game. When you're considering Qb6, always make sure you're not susceptible to Na5, which both attacks the queen, and protects b2. Btw, this same move played by black (...Na4) can also be a key move in the exchange variation, where white plays early cxd4 and soon after Qb3. One reason I prefer ...c6 over ...e6 is the queen covers a4.

[@RedGaming23]

Yes!!! Need this in my life so much. Iv watched all your others in this category 3-4x lol

[@user-rb2ce3vl2w]

Already when I read the title, I start to fall asle....zzzz

[@Spaghettiman12312]

already ready for #7

[@caseykongpanickul3426]

Thank you for another rapid video!

[@etiennemazur6334]

Thank you again Jerry!

[@cancer2445]

fantastic show :) who's sleeping during it?

[@atsubbie8876]

It’s more that the voice is really chill, and if you’re lying down sometimes the eyes start to cl

[@PerceivedREALITY999]

I just woke up and you put me back to sleep. Greetings from Australia.

[@ahmadburhanhabibi]

30 seconds in... and 900-rated player choose to forfeit already 😂 I don't blame him 😭

[@raflalink]

Just when I wanted to take a nap, thanks Jerry!!

[@RedGaming23]

Already my 3rd run at this as I always fall asleep in less than 30mins. So soothing 😊

[@RedGaming23]

Legit got 8 cracking nights sleep out of this Jerry. Thanks so much. Please keep making more of them with 10+0 or longer 😊👍🏻

[@RedGaming23]

Should also mention if course I learnt lots of great chess I’m not purely here for the naps 😂

[@WhatABanana]

Thanks Jerry!

[@MrOttopants]

To stay awake, I went for an hour long walk on the treadmill. Great content, as usual.

[@Limosical]

I'm curious how many hours of your videos I've watched, I will watch your videos to go to sleep on auto play and start from where I fell asleep the next night, some videos I've watched 5+ times while awake so I wonder how many asleep

[@seansklenar3509]

Happy you couldn't resist f4 in the first game that was fun to watch

[@Gru39]

I prefer the deep chess analysis episodes. But I don't mind this format either it still has some explanations though not as deep plus I am always ready to sleep 😴 . We have to say that it is not easy for Jerry to explain and play opponent at the same time. Thank you

[@cryptohalloffame]

almost impossible to keep my eyes open

[@Dr.Sortospino]

There is who can't pass the 20 min mark, and who lies

[@fallingzeppelin69]

Love me some rapid chess jerry

[@KF1]

Nice 🙃

[@dannytran1587]

More of these 😂

[@piotr_jurkiewicz]

I must give a reclamation: *I WOKE UP AFTER THE LAST ONE !!*

[@okkedorrestijn1714]

Made it to 46:57 and I think there is a forced mate in 3. Queen takes bishop, Queen blocks. Knight d6 check, king to d8. Queen takes queen, checkmate.

[@talisb7883]

Love these rapid games against 1900+ players.

[@keineangabe8993]

32:31 I think there was Bishop takes b7? The queen was overloaded there. Had to defend b7 and the knight.

[@HazhanJalal]

Queen wasn't overloaded, b7 is defended by Black's Bishop on c8 too, not just the queen. If White plays Bxb7 Black simply plays Bxb7 too and knight is still defended by Queen. Even if it wasn't, I believe it will still be good for black since black can open Whites King side with f4 after White takes the knight on c4.

[@keineangabe8993]

​@@HazhanJalalyou are right of course, how did i not see that. Thank you.

[@HazhanJalal]

​Happens to the best of us 🌸

[@Pablo-jq4kf]

Perfect time to sleep

[@JaretDawson]

Another one!

[@amir_forooghi]

❤❤❤

[@jamesb6857]

Why didn’t I think of this???

[@swainscheps]

I don’t understand what’s happening in the game at 41:00 - one guy starts with 5 minutes and Jerry has 10 minutes. How does that work?

[@ChessNetwork]

At the start of the game, both players have an option to click on a berserk button. When you click on the berserk button, your time is cut in half. When you berserk AND win the game, you gain an additional tournament point.

[@Ragehunter]

Good night!))

[@CarlosCastroRomero]

At 47:52, it's a good thing you didn't go to d7 with your queen! 😂

[@talisb7883]

He meant queen takes d7 mate, in case that black put its knight there to block the check.

[@TheStickCollector]

Rapid Sleep. Rapid eye movement

[@MunchyHam]

Please help me sleep 😂

[@johndunn7733]

Hey yo Jerry. What goin on

[@gregm4813]

So .... there's a steam game entitled "5D Chess with Multiversal Time Travel", tagged as a "psychological horror game." I am curious to see you attempt even one go at that monstrosity of a "chess" game.

[@fumb_ducker5435]

These vids could be 5 minutes long and I still wouldn’t make it all the way through!

[@andrewash9318]

Why do you enter these tournaments only for the final hour, when you are guaranteed to play only much lower rated players?

[@KF1]

We sleep a lot better knowing he won't lose
