[@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

That was such a smooth transition to the ad😂absolutely masterful!

[@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

[@PadeJuan]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. They’re absolutely the best. Relaxing and informative. My favorite series

[@SSJ2AlexiLaiho]

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

[@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!

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.

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

I love it when your comments show up in my feed :)

[@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 👀

I just love this channel so much! I fall asleep to these videos every night and over time I find that my subconscious mind internalised these concepts while I was dozing off and I am actually sharper while I play! I also remember the games you show by heart (or arleast a good portion of them :D)

[@anthonyanzalone]

My friend, thank you. Your channel has definitely helped me get better. I played the computer 2x last night and won both games in a row. I've never accomplished this before. The road is long but I'm finally at the starting line. Thank you.

[@noahian3215]

No one has said this yet but I think it needs some attention; you did a really good job with this sponsor, I’m downloading nord vpn right now cause for some reason I never thought about a good reason to get it on my phone, but when you mentioned the “uploading in a café” part I realized how exposed I was in the public. Idk why no other KZbinr I’ve seen put it like this!

I’ve probably tried to watch this video 20 times to learn the opening but I fall asleep every single time, very hard to learn like this but I’m not complaining!!

[@GirlGeekLovesStampin]

This is my favorite of all of your games! WOW! 😄 Great teaching moments.

[@Lars_Maassen]

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.

[@Lars_Maassen]

@@ASMRChess I think that is an excelent plan, and certaintly something your subscribers (as well as potential new subscribers) would enjoy and be looking for

[@rattman-gy8hq]

This is my 3rd time watching this, I've been tryna learn how to play the Budapest for the past 3 days but you keep putting me to sleep lol, that's a good thing though cuz nothing beats a good night's sleep

[@hexotique9365]

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.

[@williamcurrie511]

Ahhhhh sweet relaxation. My escape from the world. Thanks for the video!

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

[@MacDeece]

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

[@ASMRChess]

This is actually completely normal for new players. It is known as the Tetris Effect and you can read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect

[@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.

[@zacharyolson419]

Thanks for the ideas! I’ve been having way more fun with this gambit. I have been having trouble where often after Qe7 my opponent plays e3, opening the bishop, giving the king more space, and forcing trades until I’m down a pawn in a room endgame. Could you go through those lines in your follow up video?

[@ASMRChess]

yes but you have to give me the exact moves up to Qe7 so I'm sure I'll be giving advice on the correct position.

Seeing and hearing are prerequisites for effective teaching...

[@armandolandomarinelli5087]

What about Bxf2+ after that? If he takes with the king, then Ne4+, bishop forked, you take it and get ready to develop the queen and check. I actually don’t know what’s the line if you take the bishop with the queen, but if white captures the knight, there’s f5+ and it’s a very difficult situation for white’s king. I have no time to calculate, but, with the correct moves, black may win an outstanding game. However, it’s very risky Edit: ok maybe I had to watch for twenty seconds more
