Let’s go for those 100k subscribers man. You completely deserve it, you’re the best at ASMR.

[@kdbrown777]

This was the perfect relaxing video for my lunch break. I agree with others - the combination of whispering and old-skool chess computer matches is an award-winning combo, more of these please!

[@pachanas703]

It could be really fun to hear you do a video in Danish! I find it novel to experience ASMR in languages besides English. Autogenerated subtitles would let people still follow along. ☺️

[@turtleneckey]

I've been watching you since 4k subscribers and I have to say, your videos have only gotten better and better. Seeing you at 70k subs today made me incredibly happy, you deserve every single subscriber. You're going to make it big, I can feel it! Thanks for the relaxing and quality content, they help my heart issues and make me fall asleep easily :)

This chess computer is quite impressive, but it is not the strongest version of Mephisto. This version has a tested elo that is around the 1780 level when set to the max. It also costed around $225 when it first landed on store shelves in 1989

[@johncarlisle6865]

you don't have to whisper, the machine can't hear you

[@AlexandraMiddleton]

Whispering and chess computers go well together. Thank you for the relaxing and interesting chess game. Also congratulations for 70k subscribers!

[@blakesimmons5130]

Much prefer the whispering to the soft talking. Thanks for this, mate. Really cool video

[@xerxese191]

The Europa is actually a decent machine. If you put it on higher level it will win. I used to have it a few decades back. I have fond memories of it. Every once in a while it will play brilliantly If you put it in analysis mode and let it think for 10 min per ply.

[@zeniktorres4320]

Interesting. I ordered one these. I will try that. 10 min wait time is fine for me. Not good for video though.

Man, watching your channel REALLY makes me think more about my playing. No one I know wants to play me in chess because I win all the time, but I've also played since I was 6 and had strategies engraved in my brain. You look at the game completely differently than I do! It's really interesting, and i find myself fighting to stay awake to understand your reasoning and forethought rather than ACTUALLY falling asleep LOL

Man, I gotta tell you. I don't understand a single thing you do on the chess board, I don't really like chess but the minute I found you, I had to subscribe. You are absolutely great at ASMR. I would love to say the same thing about your chess skills but, as I said, I don't understand it all ✌️ this big rant was supposed to be a compliment in a twisted way 😂 keep up the great work!

[@mayalackman7581]

His chess skills are quite advanced compared to 95% of players but not nearly master level. I believe his rating is 1800ish which places him as mid level "advanced" but significantly below expert and light years away from master.

I am so happy that your channel exists. I got into Chess in May and I remember thinking "there has to be ASMR where I can learn chess" and I found you and I am so thankful for that. I've watched every video since and I cant stop. Thank you for being so much fun to listen to and watch. I love your charisma and your playful banter as you play. Also you give plenty of insight into games that is just so amazing. I was wondering if you could do another Mikhail Tal game? I love his play style and you are always so enthusiastic with his games! Anyways love you videos please keep it up!

While he should be at 1 million, 70k is a tad far from it

[@ImTotallyTown]

The way I figure it, 70,000>(30,000×2) The diffrence is a margin of over double the needed requirements, thus I deem it as almost there.

I'll never forget the first time I finally beat the chess club leader. All my hard work and practice paid off. I picked up the board and smacked the hell out of him thank God I spent all that time at the gym . Hard work and practice pays off. (This is joke. I never went to the gym.) (That was a double joke. I never used a chess board) (That was a triple joke. I never even chess before. I haven't club either.)

Wonderful video as always! I love seeing you play against these old chess computers. By the way, have you considered doing some videos in Danish? I think it'd be really cool!

[@tustin8145]

I waited this video 😳

[@christophermccarthy9497]

Idk if I see the board correctly but, instead of taking the knight with your pawn, and then the computer taking your knight back with its pawn, couldn’t you have just taken the pawn on h2 with your bishop, and if the pawn took the knight you take the pawn on g2 with your bishop, and if the king takes the bishop you move your rook to g6 and check? And the only move is to block with the white bishop?

[@zenyatta5064]

I just got obsessed with seeing how the game plays out. Forgot to relax

[@MrEviLow]

Great video as usual thanks !

[@dervaken3902]

am I only thought that the board is magnetic so the figures will move by themselves?

[@patrickcarney6171]

You are better at chess than I am but I want to check my calculations on one cause I thought you could have won a rook. Instead of bishop g4 could you go queen h2 then queen h1 then with the king on e2 skewer it to the rook with bishop g4 check?

[@ASMRChess]

Can you provide a time stamp so I can see the moment in the video to which you are referring?

[@patrickcarney6171]

43:54 I am calculating Queen H2, K F1, Q H1, K E2, Bishop G4 check winning the rook on D1. It looks forced to me but maybe I'm missing something. Love your content btw!

[@j.ackermann9110]

(Maybe) Stupid question: In the situation at 17:20 could white castle to get the king away from there? (Or in general is it allowed to castle when the king is attacked?

[@Boundyy]

I know Im late but you can't castle out of check you have to block the check and then castle after if I'm not mistaken

Great question. I tested it and it does not always play the same moves. If you watch my video “can I beat the worlds smallest chess program?” you can see an example of a weaker program that does in fact always play the same moves.

At 36 mins could u have played bishop takes pawn then when computer trades bishop, moved ur rooke to H1 for check mate?

Good idea but no the rook isn’t protected on h1 so white’s king could just capture it. BxB, BxB, Rh1+, Kxh1

Id turn down the mic sensitivity a good bit. You have a fantastic natural deep voice which works very well for male asmr artists. The mic is picking up far too much breathing noises. Someone with your voice doesn't need to rely on the heavy breath whisper type voice, just talk naturally but softly and you will get a much clearer sound with fantastic asmr sounds as well. Great video mate, try out that adjustment and you will be surprised at how good it sounds.
