No special lighting, that’s surprising. Just good old classic chess. Usually there is led lights. I like this a lot better. Keep it up!

[@TauPathfinder334]

I liked the blue it’s calming

[@ShadowDreamer100]

It's red and blue usually.

[@captainminecraftist]

Still a fan of the more cinematic lighting but variety is good

[@atticussalmon9064]

Do you still plan to do an Alphazero video? Also, I really like these “storytelling style” videos, with game analysis. The Tal vs. Smyslov video was amazing!!

[@ASMRChess]

yes I do :)

[@TheMidnightSmoker]

Dude killer intro that's some stunning scenery. And the photos and stock video cut in are clean and unobtrusive to the ASMR. I've barely made it to the sponsor (nice transition btw) and I already know this one is gonna be a new favorite

[@coach_ilka]

So awesome to be part of the channel’s development. Quality all across the board, from audio to video to way of explaining is consistently going up Learning a lot while relaxing cheers bro

[@noahissleepy000]

Your voiceover in the introduction absolutely melted my brain. I don't know if it was how close you were to the mic when recording, EQ, or just a different setup, but the super intense bassiness and the high level of detail in the upper frequencies combined with your relaxed and gentle under-the-breath voice is incredible. Whatever you're doing, please don't stop!

[@rindreamz]

never been this early to a video! longtime viewer, first time commenting. your videos never fail to relax and educate. definitely looking forward to this one. thanks for all you do and keep up the fantastic work!

[@ASMRChess]

thank you for being a long time viewer! I hope you like this one :)

[@connorartz2107]

The care you put into each video shows in every little detail. From building in hints/footage at the beginning to experimenting with new graphics: bravo 🙌🏻

[@hattorihanzo2275]

Iceland is a beautiful country. I stayed a few nights in Selfoss and went to Fischer's grave. It was raining and there was a guy driving heavy farm machinery across the street.

[@keepthepeace3744]

Amazing intro, the story telling is fantastic and the gravely texture in your voice actually gave me my first genuine ASMR tingling sensation I’ve ever had in the 4 years I’m been watching ASMR great work

[@GyutaroFanboy]

I remember my first brilliant move freaking out woke up my brother meanwhile this guy just casually doing it

[@pardisrahimi5095]

the knight move threatening m1 was amazing!! I love these videos on famous matches between masters. you explain the moves in a way i can understand and keep up with thank you so much

[@judeoneill7683]

this is my fav asmr chess vid!

[@modfather1964]

Brilliant, Just loving this channel!!! So much better OTB.

[@webvt]

barely watched one minute, and i'm already stunned at how well produced this is. keep up this AMAZING work and production of yours!!

[@BWeManX]

After the third time trying to watch this (ASMR, you know)... this is one of the most beautiful games ever played. I also appreciate the simple presentation.

[@phil8378]

ASMR Chess put out a bad video challenge (impossible)

[@costanza2492]

I usually get more tingles out of your whisper videos, but this is just top top notch ASMR. Thank you!

[@PatrickxJames]

This game reminds me of the “smack my bishop” game with Tal, but with the queen haha

[@ASMRChess]

Naka truly channeling Tal in this game

[@chavislynn1374]

Loved your intro, and it gave me Emperor Palatine vibes hahaha, the growl you have in the beginning section of the video.

[@vdog22100]

thanks so much for helping myself and others take a break from stress and strife to appreciate this wonderful game! will always be there for you man!

[@calumgrindlay239]

Your voice seems a bit rougher/deeper in this one? I think the video I get the most tingles from is still your Chess in a Smokey Cafe video, it's legendary, perfectly soft spoken

[@ASMRChess]

That’s on oldie! God… I made that video like 9 years ago. Time flies!

[@calumgrindlay239]

Perfect balance of setting the scene, soft voice, storytelling and beautiful chess play@@ASMRChess

[@adennfn8520]

yess im early! love your videos, no one else does amazing asmr in chess like u. keep it up :)

[@tuabuelo3213]

that sponsor transition was literally brilliant !!

[@williamcurrie511]

This is insane. What a wel made video, props to you sir !

[@Eastonman03]

It’s a great night to fall asleep to some ASMR Chess!

[@rtcommodore9354]

I am so curious about this game, especially with all the delicious build-up, but I can only stay awake to the third move! Lovely soft speaking.

[@kittygod1987]

First also I love your videos best asmr youtuber

[@ASMRChess]

thank you :)

[@sebapanero1414]

Hi ASMR Chess ❤ Im just gonna say that you are the best ASMR channel I found on the 2023 , a delightful discovery. Greetings from Argentina. Btw what's your name? How is called the man behind the relaxing voice?

[@royallion7923]

Only you can make asmr out of something Hikaru related, guy is shot out of a cannon

[@dazeo59]

wait.. did i just see a reference to The Search in an asmr chess video? that made me genuinely so happy even if it wasnt intended.

[@maxduwarf9502]

Amazed with the care and effort of the effects and editing in this video! You are amazing man

[@potatoatitsfinest4336]

I am looking forward to the 'perfect chess video'. The presentation was amazing.

[@calumgrindlay239]

your videos get better and better dude

[@ozbae]

Have nothing against this videos, but i must admit i enjoy the most, your own gameplay against random people on lichess using chessup board...👀

[@Kuribohdudalala]

This is one of my favorite games ever played

[@kronux3831]

Love the intro! (And the game was cool too!)

[@AS-yi1gj]

Wow! When can we expect you find the game you are looking for?

[@ivanvan2931]

It was really 🤯 that game. Also your videos are so good I love your content 👍😊

[@willjessup9832]

takes, takes , takes and if i take and they take it can play out like takes, takes, he takes, takes, takes, takes.

[@zacharysherry2910]

Should be a draw, chat

[@chestnutsoup9960]

We need more chess clinic video's! banger video btw

[@nnifjote]

Stunning game

[@RandomPerson-ql8py]

Reminds me of Christoph waltz!

[@finbo7936]

The Quality!!!!

[@vomanna]

10/10 Gman imitation.

[@hata6290]

Bro got me counting defenders to sleep instead of sheep 🐑

[@donsimons9810]

great vid

[@callmeandoru2627]

After white's 2nd move, I was hoping for a Budapest, but I was wrong

[@Jan-the-Man]

Yes

[@seanfromtheyukon]

Listened 10.25.23

[@Controlqueen31]

When I saw you in the first seconds wandering in nature with the chess board under your left arm, you remembered me of ReyEnigma, a spanish chess youtuber whose identity is unknown. And as your identity is a mystery to, It would be great if, in the future, you both engage in a match or meet for a video. It would be fun

[@ASMRChess]

That would be amazing!

[@fincy645]

He had an old video that showed his face but he deleted it. Ginger

[@squirll4828]

What chess set do you use in your vids?

[@bboytofresh]

Can you please make another “playing chess online” against other people again???

[@ASMRChess]

Yes I’m working on more of those :)

[@truthintrees2036]

Hunting the sacred mushroom

[@matthewgonzalez2040]

❤❤❤❤

[@keeganlogsdon5090]

Niice. Early.

[@tobs7003]

i dont know Where have you been but i am very sure it wasnt denmark 😂

[@npcmcishark7379]

Aren't you in Iceland at the start of the video?

[@ASMRChess]

Perhaps. Why would a chess channel be in Iceland? :)

[@npcmcishark7379]

@@ASMRChess Because that is where Bobby Fischer defeated Borris Spassky. I'm pretty sure there is a museum in Reykjavík partially about it

[@phantomjoker5]

😯😯

[@KillerWolf1324]

Your voice sounds a little funny

[@sciacallo96]

ngl your voice seems a bit darth sidious in this video XD

[@ASMRChess]

Yes… I can feel your anger… It makes you… More relaxed.

[@MeritedMasterOfTheUSSR]

first

[@brandonvincent8277]

Not sure why, but you sounded like palpatine from star wars... Much prefer the whispered voice
