[@TheNitram8]

Ive had my team of experts examine the video footage you provided and they have determined this is NOT in fact a normal sized chessboard in your giant hands, but a tiny chess board in your normally proportionned apendages. I cannot believe you would clickbait us like this...

[@amdrei]

me, as the light square bishop in the board, i can confirm that the board is indeed a tiny chessboard

[@superawesomeninja2]

Can confirm. I was the leftmost rook for white.

[@ImTotallyTown]

Being the d2 pawn, I can confirm that we were tiny.

[@friendlyneighborhoodasexual]

Being the b1 knight in this game I can confirm the board was tiny and his hands were gargantuan

[@winter_3407]

Can confirm, I was the G8 knight for black

[@Lars_Maassen]

"My what big hands you have, ASMR Chess" "All the better to play an epic chess match with, my dear"

[@brunomarcelo3394]

Finally new vídeo from my favorite channel ever!!!

[@alexglase765]

It’s hard to wait 2 weeks, I know the feeling

[@lumi1007]

Not only has this channel sparked my love for chess but it also makes me feel at peace enough to fall asleep, and I can't thank you enough for that! Keep up the amazing work!

[@typicalfurry2747]

Another proto!

[@KurruptCarrot]

These vids are getting better and better. The combination of intriguing story, interspersed with occasional moves, & chess sounds is 👌

[@zravitzyva8770]

This guy makes 2 things easier for me: *sleeping* and *chess*

[@ZenPossum]

That little bit about the arbiter working on breaking the enigma code really shows the depth of research you do for your videos. Very interesting.

[@ASMRChess]

I am happy it is appreciated!

[@samelsamuel6648]

I loved your videos, I have been watching for almost 3 years now, I'm a suboptimal chess player but every time I learn something new and you always make it very interesting to learn about these things, I'm glad this channel gets support and I hope for the best to come to you and your loved ones :D keep it up!

[@ASMRChess]

3 years is amazing! Thank you for the years of support!

[@Ok-Runki]

You are phenomenal, thank you for your fantastic content and all of the work that I couldn't imagine going into these videos! I've been slowly increasing in prestige in my high school chess club thanks to you!

[@aidanbrandt6409]

I am absolutely in love with these historical games. thank you!

[@KimiiiRaikkonen]

I would never discover these awesome games if it was not for your channel. I love your focus on great games, showed in an asmr way, calmly. good time, and also some silly talk from the pieces. Love it all, thank you for great content!!

[@PapaBass]

The giant hands gives me a lot of "The Master" vibes from your original immortal game video. Just a faceless, overseeing presence glancin over the chess board

[@AlexDeBera35]

you're back!!! i was looking through all the old videos and learned the dragon variation because of it, love the content man! wishing you peace love and positivity

[@maddoxmb3170]

Your amazing voice and wonderful narration make me look forward to my night's sleep.

[@marianonicolasromero6974]

I really love how you move a pawn and stop to explain "what does this mean?". It's a great way to understand and learn!

[@emilerhard4189]

Great choice of a game and very enjoyable Asmr as usual :)

[@exhannn]

Hey asmr chess, was wondering if maybe one day, you’d do a video on the first ever recorded chess games. Keep up the good work

[@ASMRChess]

yes!

[@b.j.heinrichs1954]

I find playing in 1.5-2x speed makes these videos better. Probably my favorite chess channel!

[@paulfuller9071]

Thanks for the insightful commentary and the fascinating stories.

[@BirchinthewoodsASMR]

I just need to say that your little intro really reminded me of Sigurd Barret, for some reason. And thanks for another Tal game, they're a treat!

[@thejabstep9697]

ASMR Chess, I have watched every single one of your videos, yes even Magic and The Swapper (Which are actually some of my favorite videos). I watch your videos every night to relax and fall asleep. Seeing your progress, continued humility, and passion for the channel and your work is what makes your videos phenomenal. I typically never comment, but considering how impactful and cheerful your channel has been for me, I wanted to say THANK YOU! Never stop chasing your dream of a full time ASMR Artist, seeing you now at 66.9k subscribers compared to years ago is amazing! Hope you have a phenomenal day! By the way, when are we going to see you play again??? I'd love another 5 hour video! It's my favorite one. Much love.

[@ASMRChess]

Thank you very much for this comment. Happy somebody watched the Swapper videos lol!! Yeah I'll make more "Let's Play Chess" videos in the future. All the best and thanks again!

[@happytoast8647]

I love your new "oh look a recording device" intro!

[@BlacklitStar]

I just want to say that no matter who's game of chess it is no matter how famous or obscure, I'm so down to watch it please keep them coming this is awesome.

[@dearlittleheart]

I really love the storytelling you've included in this video.

[@Ffffffffff444]

In this life, my wish is to complete a video of you before I fall asleep, you are amazing ❤️

[@ZenithTech35]

Another banger! Keep it up man! These are so relaxing

[@randomrandomnesss2188]

Wow this video was a masterpiece. The story of chess and those who played it is more enthralling that any Hollywood blockbuster. Thank you for the amazing work!

[@ChadAzeltine]

The chess set you used in this video is the one I had as a child and learned to play with. I would love to know who made it so I can try to track down another one. Can you please tell me either where you got it or who makes it. I have not seen that set in years. I taught my kids to play with it and it disappears a number of years ago. I would love to get my hands on another one. Please let me know if you can. Thank you for putting out awesome content.

[@CN-nl5cl]

Hey! Just dropping a comment to draw attention to this for him. Hope you get the set. It’s really nice! Have a good day :)

[@ASMRChess]

I got it as a gift a long time ago. It doesn't have any branding on it or anything to show who made it or where it is from unfortunately.

[@ChadAzeltine]

I think I found it on EBay. It appears to be a set made by a company called Chadwick in 1973. It may have been sold by other companies as well, but the box looks really familiar to me. It appears to have been a popular travel set in the 70s. I ordered one and can’t wait to see if it is the right one. Thank you for boosting my comment and thank ASMR chess for all your great content.

[@ASMRChess]

@@ChadAzeltine let us know if it is the right one! Thanks for sharing.

[@ChadAzeltine]

I finally got ahold of it and yes it is the set I had as a kid. The wood is a slightly different shade and the brown pieces are not as dark brown, but it is the correct set. Thank you so much!

[@lukeadsit4049]

It has taken me five or six nights to finally finish this video, I keep falling asleep 😂

[@Hakabas01]

Love these historical game replays

[@slimjimi681]

Easily my favourite youtuber

[@naomioti626]

I’ve been waiting!! Finally a new video yay

[@Jose-es9xy]

The greatest asmr channel ever

[@jackryan2129]

Hooray a full hour of ASMR Chess!

[@dman_4757]

Finally couldn’t wait any longer!!!

[@Spiderrocker26]

The 1st minute is the best introduction to a video on KZbin

[@JacksAnimations]

om yugoslavia zagreb, i live so close to zagreb haha, amazing video

[@ASMRChess]

So cool!

[@zacharyolson419]

I loved the speed of this video

[@malavida8536]

Another great video. Thanks for the 💤😴💤😴💤

[@Parksmen01]

Very underrated, props to you good sir, interesting yet absolutely relaxing, keep pumpin out more! 🫡

[@patchly]

Woooooo! new video!

[@dazeo59]

i recently got a travel chess set that is absolutely tiny. this chess set is only a little smaller than my own if im not mistaken! its satisfying to play with in a completely way.

[@Hakabas01]

That tiny board is super cool

[@marguneri]

I love your videos♥️

[@Owbly]

Great video!

[@NoahPatsy10]

Great video

[@parkdowning2855]

Man I'm torn on these videos because I want to watch the videos to go to sleep but I always get to interested in the matches to not to pay attention to the whole video

[@drebsdxfferrent8867]

Yoooooooo new vid, ready to relax

[@kashyapp23]

Please make opening videos for slightly strong players like 1400-1600

[@u.v.s.5583]

Bobby Fisher, GM, was paranoid and saw KGB agents everywhere. Tigran Petrosian, GM, however, was not paranoid, he simply was a KGB agent.

[@TY_CZ_CY]

I love this video

[@bcat010]

i like the look of your perfectly normal sized chess board

[@lmgarekol]

Can not wait to watch this later :)

[@TroubledGremlin]

You know its gonna be good when you see those names in the title

[@cartereckblad]

Is this Jack Kelly playing chess? Best lawyer in Philadelphia!

[@benk-p5558]

Did you take the garcia vs gligoric game down?

[@connorwilliams2999]

Missed you

[@JamesKelly-rt3ul]

Is there any more paul morphy matches you could do? i really enjoyed the opera game vid u did

[@AeonEar]

Ur acting is wonderful

[@phantomjoker5]

good stuff!

[@josephboyne9327]

This is a funny comment to leave on this video, but I've been meaning to say that I really like the board and pieces you usually use and if you provided a link in the description, I would definitely use it to buy them.

[@tardyy3898]

That one guy where You have to wait 15 minutes for his next move

[@brennan-walter]

Question: were the games you portray timed games or not? I find I play differently when on a timer. Also, would love to see a video on the king's gambit!

[@timothylawrence8929]

All official tournaments have timed games, this is in the classical time control which is like 90 minutes each (or something along those lines, the specifics of the format have changed over the past few decades). Obviously, people play much differently in classical compared to rapid (10 minutes) or blitz (5 minutes)

[@ASMRChess]

yes, unless I specify anything else the games I analyze are with classical time controls (about 2.5 hours pr player).

[@kevindonohue8918]

Well done

[@pixiecrazy1754]

I hope you find the remedy for the hands' enlargement :( Fortunately, we could appreciate your perfectly-regular-sized chess board as always! 👌🏼

[@playboithecreator]

1:04:50 how is that rule spelt? I want to google it lol

[@ASMRChess]

En passant

[@danielmcculloch657]

This board is pretty!

[@playboithecreator]

Clicked on this video to go to sleep but ended up watching the entire thing bc it was so interesting. Now it’s 4am and I have school at 9. 💀

[@ASMRChess]

hope you made it!

[@brunomarcelo3394]

"Maybe petrossian knew cause he was a kgb agent" hahahahahaha

[@christophelefrancois9875]

Oh my indeed! What is this gigantism!?

[@HIMB13]

Aww that chess board is so cute and cool

[@JasonHelbling]

How long does it take for you to make a video by any chance

[@ASMRChess]

Depends. Usually 3 days (1 for research and analysis, 1 for recording and 1 for editing). But it varies a lot. Some videos take a loooong time to make.

[@nzephier]

I was high when I watched this so I thought you had giant foam hands on lol and were handling a regular sized chess board but with giant foam hands lol

[@ASMRChess]

aahahaha that is amazing!

[@felixgeorg3689]

Again great Video, but there are nowadays a lot of guys you could call best non-world-champion. Of cause Keres and Korchnoi, Bronstein for example and then there are Aronian and Caruana. Magnus gave them the same Problem to crack like Korchnoi had with Karpov

[@FriedrichVonSpietz]

Tonight we sleep like kings, guys

[@alexandergrant2420]

I think what marks the petrosian KID is the early d5 push, not the a6 move.

[@ASMRChess]

ah, that's true.

[@krim7]

The tiny chess board is weird and funny and cool

[@QuKun]

Good sir, your hands are not big, the chess board is smaller :big brain moments:

[@donsimons9810]

he was good at many games. world caliber. not just chess

[@nkgaviation]

I have that exact set lol haha

[@shikuro7229]

I would say the chess board is above average, rather large even.

[@jakedunbar5094]

❤

[@kordova6805]

You are so stupidly silly, I love it. Hahaha you know that I knew you that you knew what you were doing haha

[@cramirez3855]

Danish is the most difficult language in pronounciation. Makes vietnamese seem easy in comparison

[@mrsqueaksrules]

Well now you've gotta do an analysis on a human sized board.

[@brayden._.samuel]

eggs.

[@coleslawlover1]

Smol

[@deadlyseed]

Wtf ur the white shaq

[@EpicGamerMan]
