You can't just walk around leaving your data exposed... :)

[@raghadkhalil2950]

But why did I get excited you were in Canada hahaha

[@true_wind3453]

my opponent played the knight f3 on his second move and I dont know what to do. I cant move the pawn to e5 . Help pls.

[@jonnysaccount1149]

Even the ad was satisfying to listen to king.

[@TheNitram8]

I've been having chess fever dreams where i am constantly in a losing position with no piece activity, for real. Hopefully this will cure me of my curse!

[@ASMRChess]

the Budapest is all about piece activity and ferociously attacking your opponent so I think you'll have a good chance for blissful sleep!

[@tonyV07]

Man that sucks hope you do better

[@kbk239]

Maybe you're too slow in positions where you need to be quick. Play openings that match your playsyle, like d4 or c4.

[@Tmes-wd8sc]

omg!! that happened to me too but i was in situation where I take the rock with my bishop

[@LucA-ss9td]

Wth, same thing happened to me several Nights about one month ago

[@MADARAFAN100]

these opening walkthroughs have overtaken the historical games as my new favorite genre for your videos, i love the historical games but these are relaxing AND also help me improve

[@SSJ2AlexiLaiho]

"And Here We Go!" I mean, I was relaxed but also so hyped at the same time 😅

[@jacobdunnwald6951]

Really needed this, have been stuck in the 200 rating. Slowly improving, went from 100 to 200 in a few days of grinding👌🏽

[@ASMRChess]

Good work! It is not the first step that matters, nor is it the last. It is the next. Grind on and hopefully you'll pick up something useful from this video.

[@tomwhitcombe7621]

Don't try memorize openings. As soon as someone goes off the lines you'll have no idea what to do. Check out Amman Hambletons building habbits on Chess Brah extra- I think that's the best way to learn principled chess. Not that this isn't a great video (it's great), but if you're stuck in the pit, I don't think openings like this are going to lift you too much. Learn to attack the centre and not blunder your peices :D

[@drewm3807]

At 200, or really anything below 1500, your fastest way to improve is to remember to blunder check before every move.

[@binnieb173]

@@drewm3807 This. And just learn basic opening principals. pawns in the center, knights before bishops, only trade if it helps you.

[@BentoMontenegro]

The proposal of the channel is in-itself amazing. Usually I hang my pipe, sit in a confortable position and not only relax, and sometimes even sleep, but have the satisfying feeling that indeed I learned a lot. Please, if possible, keep on going like this. Thank you!

[@kylebierly1639]

Man, I remember years ago when I first started watching your channel. It was like this magical channel with a few thousand subscribers that just put out the most awesome content. It was the only place I could find asmr + chess. Sometimes the channel would stop uploading for a while, but so many of us would check almost weekly for a new upload because we loved this channel so much, and we knew when you came back it would be great. I’m so happy that you seem to be in a good place, and I feel so lucky/grateful we get these frequent videos & you get to be recognized for your efforts with sponsors and 50k subscribers. Wishing you the best and excited to see what’s next. Looking forward to 100k 👀

Best part of the week! I love when that notification shows up on my phone.

[@davidkreece]

I love these videos, and I'm glad to see you aren't only going to use the new set exclusively. I do love the new board, but the sounds from the wood are exquisite, especially the tapping.

[@oscargutierrez8643]

Which board is this

[@Jamie_Pritchard]

You've managed to do what no other person has ever managed in forty-five years. You've made chess interesting for me. I still never want to play it again of course, but I do really enjoy listening to your enthusiasm and relaxing tone.

[@Jamie_Pritchard]

@ShoryukenPunch As strange as it seems, while I enjoy these videos and finding out about tactics etc, I just find playing the game boring. Perhaps I just don't have the patience for it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@tokokkino7936]

This is now my go to for black, then I started testing it with white and learned the Reti and Tennison Gambit, really improved my game, thank you for these kinds of videos!

[@uqwertrewq]

Great video! Your explanations of the strategies behind openings are really helpful; I'm bad at memorizing moves but I'm alright at concepts. And I've been looking for better options vs. 1.d4; I like aggressive counterattacks like this. Speaking of d4, I hit a new peak rating yesterday playing a queen's gambit opening trap I learned from the first video of yours I found, so thank you! :D

[@DxS7]

Great!! So happy that you are getting sponsors

[@connorartz2107]

Be careful if he goes bishop f4 instead of using his horse to defend because if you move your bishop as plan to c5 he will move his pawn to defend but it will open his queen to your horse. Great video as always glad to know you have sponsors to be able to have a better income from your channel.

I’m glad I’ve found your channel. Since starting back at chess after playing very casually and infrequently for the past few years, I’ve been having these weird moments where I can see a chess board in my mind with a different position every time, and when playing games like fifa eith friends, I imagine the players as pieces, and when I realise this I snap out of it. It’s very distracting and quite strange, but kind of cool too I guess haha

I'm predicting this video to get alot of views. It seems people love to watch guides on openings etc. Also, great to see you got another sponsored video!

[@ASMRChess]

Fingers crossed - then the sponsor will also be happy and maybe come back for more! I've got a new opening video lined up on the Queen's Gambit (editing right now) because I think many of my viewers would benefit a lot from a small and easy opening repertoire for white and black. Then they can open with 1. d4 as white and play the sicilian against 1. e4 and the budapest against 1. d4 as black.

[@jepkratz]

Have you seen variations where white quickly pursues a Q side fianchetto and castle in attempt to resolve the bad bishop, while changing the positional/sacrificial/attack zone advantages black seems to have K side with this initiative seizing Budapest nastiness? Also I think it is clear that 2: Pc4 is not the best response to 1:...Nf6 when there is as yet no pawn to gambit against.

[@nabaytesfaslasie4501]

Please more openings, I would love an obscure opening for white

Could you go through those lines in your follow up video?

My idea is taking the knight on d2. You lose your check mating trap so you have to trade the bishop off so it doesn’t get trapped
