The 7 Best Unintentional ASMR Chess Videos on YouTube

[@rodneybrown2364]

Sergei’s channel isn’t offline! So that’s good news! I have been watching those old chess videos for over a decade! S3 Stores is his channels name

[@ASMRChess]

Amazing gotta change the description immediately! Wonder how I lost it. Thank you!

[@AS-yi1gj]

Wow! I love how you share.. that makes such a good community…

[@海馬ボーイ]

Thanks for the upload mild-mannered Danish chessbro

[@madeleinechv8599]

Thank you so much for all those quality videos ! You definitely contributed to my passion for chess. Started to watch your videos few months ago and now I’m already 1500 elo. Thank you again for what you’re doing for the chess community🥰

[@SeanB-wi5yh]

The press conference one knocked me clean out

[@centralwombat4847]

Great idea for a video and very well-executed! Thanks for making this for us Mr. ASMR Chess!!!!

[@pedroroque1924]

I normally don't leave comments ever, but dude, thank you for this - it's a very good idea for the channel :)

[@rougefyre]

Did not get into chess, but I am currently leaning into it, since all my friends are chess fans. Your channel is amazing for me, since it mixes asmr, historic games and tactics. Also, I am kinda craving for hearing about female chess players and games they played, so I love the fact that you mention them. Somehow, it motivates me to learn. :) Thank you a lot for helping me sleep and (sometimes) play chess!

[@ASMRChess]

If you are looking for inspirational female players I can recommend looking at Judit Polgar’s games. She was an absolute beast at her peak and is still amazingly good - she recently destroyed Magnus Carlsen in a blitz game in park. Her story is also very interesting. For content creators I’d recommend Anna Rudolf, Anna Cramling and Fionchetta. Also you should watch the Netflix show “Queens Gambit” if you haven’t already. It is really good and have an amazing female lead.

Thanks a lot for the video, but I don't really think that this top can do without a video from Mato's channel as his voice is really soothing:)

[@ASMRChess]

Mato is legend

[@nikolasekulic4033]

I love how he sais Anna Cramling is not like ASMR

[@aenizzz]

thank you for one more video, i've been waiting the whole week

[@ChrisWalker-n5x]

The videos of surgey just playing on his phone are actually the best ones lol

[@oneadamtwelve86]

I can’t believe you have voritsjov. I watched him years ago and always loved his voice. I still go back and watch his stuff, I’ve probably watched them all more than 3 times

[@andybelt603]

Seirawan is a great pick. I find him so relaxing and just like listening to him speak

[@MrScenicVisions]

still can’t get enough of the chess board tapping. a video with it layered over would be a chefs kiss

[@MrSuperLazy]

dude i normally dont comment, but that bobby fischer clip gave me so many tingles. As a lover of fast and aggressive asmr i guess thats shouldnt be suprising to me, but now i just spent looking for thirty minutes for a video like that and couldnt find any. Thanks for the new trigger though.

[@aaronbaron3155]

Love those ASMR chess interview w the ladies they knock me out almost immediately

[@isuskrist420]

Mato Jelic is a good shout. One of the pioneers of chess youtubers.

[@alexmandella7418]

This video is so good, I forgot about it until today but I just came back to it!!

[@ASMRChess]

Happy you like it!

[@matthewshaw8122]

Great video, Yasser is always a win.

[@ZeppelinStorm]

Great idea and list! I gotta shout out Mato Jelic though as he definitely fits in this category!

[@dearlittleheart]

Excellent idea! Thanks for this compilation. The clip with Bobby Fischer is bittersweet.

[@ASMRChess]

Yes he seemed downright normal, friendly and happy at this point… that did not last :(

[@emilerhard4189]

Wasn't aware of some of these. Thanks for sharing

[@CaiusCoriolan]

Incredible idea ! Thanks for this video and your explanations 😍

[@connythereal5234]

I always found the video kasparovs calculations from GJ_Chess has some of the best unintentional asmr aswell as some beautiful chess. I was kinda surprised not to see it featured in here

[@romankingbhs]

Hoooooly crap. That video demonstrating Reshevsky’s desperado rook is one of the most tingle inducing clips I’ve ever seen.

[@agentk8184]

Time stamp?

[@christophelefrancois9875]

Thanks man

[@ik4692]

Hello. Your channel is awesome. Thanks to you I started following the sport of chess. Anyway, both you and the "chessnetwork" channel are the best for relaxation, in my opinion, although I must admit that I have fallen asleep a couple times to a GingerGM stream, but only due to the massive difference in timezones 😆. (I think the first video of yours I randomly found one night was your commentary about him vs Naka or something... it's been a while.)

[@manufactured_reality]

Bobby Fischer really smacks the pieces around.

[@MKillip1994]

Video 5 was real relaxing tbf

[@Anonymous-sw5jx]

Best one by far In my opinion

[@AS-yi1gj]

You are my only chess ASMR..

[@benwk4641]

Wow the Sergey Varasov one straight up put me to sleep lol

[@strangebrew1231]

Unintentional ASMR is my favorite. Intentional begins to irritate me

[@callmeandoru2627]

My image of bobby fischer is anything but a rock-star-like, and charismatic person.

[@ASMRChess]

There is a meme these days that is based on Fischer’s abhorrent views and insanity later in life. While Fischer was certainly a troubled individual before his world championship match, he was not the deranged person we saw emerge after the match. I like the meme in that it emphasizes that we should never, for any reason, accept racist opinions. But I am also sad that the meme paints a very inaccurate picture of who and what Bobby Fischer was and many newcomers to chess get a completely warped perspective on the man. Racism is always wrong but there is a difference between somebody who lives a privileged life and chooses to hate because they simply want to feel that they are better and worth more than other people, and somebody who becomes racist because they live in a deranged and paranoid fantasy world. If Bobby Fischer had gotten help and care at various points throughout his life he would probably have developed into a much different and better person later in life, instead of the insane racist we got stuck with.

[@callmeandoru2627]

@@ASMRChess ah, thanks for the information. That’s a lot to take in for me as I didn’t know who Bobby Fischer was other than his name and the fact that he was a very good chess player. I was just very surprised Fischer (in the video) didn’t act in the same manner you’d expect a typical pro-chess-player would.

[@CatastrophicDisease]

@@ASMRChess Thank you for presenting such a nuanced and thoughtful take on Fischer.

[@kashyapp23]

Thank you good sir 💛

[@mikegreiner5711]

I know this video is old but ben finegold volume 1 when he was younger is super relaxing video series plus finegold doing a tutorial on writing chess notation

[@ASMRChess]

Finegold? Solid!

[@TedThomasTT]

Great video. You could there was something off with Bobby just by the way he slammed the pieces around haha

[@bobmcjefferson3349]

This is gonna blow up

[@thr4wn]

I would love to hear about other ASMR chess channels!

[@hugomynekroft7260]

Really cool and creative idea!

[@berkloader]

[@dusk5121]

I would love it if you could share a link to the chess board you have! Looking to finally get a good one and I love the look of your set!

[@accountnamewithheld]

It's a DGT 3000. It costs about $600 usd.

[@rustymen4576825]

Such a fan of all of your videos, I’m so curious about your specific chess set Where did you get it? 😄

[@commanderhubert5659]

why are some of the lines in description crossed off?

[@ASMRChess]

I think it was a formatting error. Should be fixed now.

[@zlatanibrahimovic1982]

Where's Andrea Botez?

[@timothygalvin3021]

The one with the three women is good for asmr but not particularly informative

[@sophhhhh12]

Why not just say pia cramling is a grandmaster... it would be funny if we starting calling male GMs "man grandmasters" 🤣

[@zannyasmr1890]

First here

[@niranjanrajesh1058]

Not tryna be mean but you couldve gotten rid of the audience chuckles in the fischer clip,and maybe even the interviewers,coz the interviewer doesnt really have a calming voice
