Unboxing a 1000 dollar chess set for ASMR ♔ Fischer vs Reshevsky, 1958

In this video I unbox the Red Stone Chess Set from Purling London, that they kindly gifted me. You can check out their shop using my affiliate link purlinglondon....
In the video I also go over the famous "Fischer Trap" in the sicilian dragon.
This is an ASMR video. I speak with a calm, soft voice meant to induce sleepiness and tingles. It is my hope that you will be able to use this video for relaxation while you hopefully learn a little bit about chess.
The music is Relaxation Music vol. 3 by ShortRecord and can be found here

[@unclippable]

since this set is a bit smaller, would u mind zooming in slightly

[@ASMRChess]

when I show the Fischer - Reshevsky game in the second half of the video I've zoomed in so the board fits the screen better :)

That is an absolutly stunning chess set! Maybe we, the viewers, should also thank Purling London for giving you this amazing chess set because now we can maybe enjoy this beautifull set in more future videos

True

[@DannyZaharia]

He already invested $1000 of his own money for a USB-connected chessboard. He's not going to stick to this board.

[@Lars_Maassen]

@@DannyZaharia Well, I'm sure there will be occasions where its apropriate to use this chess board instead of the usb-connected one (i.e. on occasions where it is deemed less important to also have the digital board)

[@adaaam6569]

I love how you keep sounding suprised about how you got this set just for having a youtube. Be more proud of yourself and your success from working hard on this amazing channel.

I know it's almost a running joke at this point but I will never get tired of the occasional AChessMR Chess intro

This set made me look up Purling London, their sets are art. You absolutely deserve this! Well done, and enjoy the set.

[@AvarusCantus]

I’ll probably never be able to afford a Purling London chess set but they’re absolutely stunning. Super happy for you man, can’t explain how happy I was to see you come back after your big break

[@AniOleh]

Congrats, this is an amazing set. I think Purling London made an excellent desicion giving you this set. Your calming voice and hand movments really emphasize the beauty of this set.

[@FoodFunYT]

I’ve been an avid KZbin user for 10 years, and I can confidently say that you’re my favorite channel I have ever come across. The highest quality ASMR I have ever seen/heard and your chess content is some of the best on KZbin. I came for the ASMR but now I’ve gotten back into chess after a couple year hiatus. I find myself rewatching your videos for the ASMR and game theory purposes-I can’t watch anything else now. Keep up the good work and know that your content helps and is appreciated by many people!

[@aero253]

How long have you had the name PressFartToContinue

[@FoodFunYT]

@@aero253 Probably 5-6 years now lol…. I’m not the OG one

[@sciacallo96]

this set is beautifully stunning, but i prefer the sound of the wood one, i hope that you'll make some videos on this one and some on the wooden one, and not only this one

[@r.j.v.d.b5228]

The Wooden set to me are more pleasant for the eyes and ears. I hope for more videos with the wooden pieces

[@alexvogi1467]

@@neko6803 Hes actually pretty bad, which is why he prefers violin duels. Last time I played him his ELO was 666.

It's more a Dracula set, or maybe a viking set. But I like the color if you have the chess set as an ornament.

[@danilonascimento6681]

An also it's ugly as hell.

[@austingoyne3039]

[@williamcurrie511]

it was so nice of purling London to do that! That is a super thoughtful company. If I ever get wealthy enough to afford a chess set like that I'm going straight to them. Cheers! thanks for the video!

[@chrisrickenbach8167]

That's really cool that they send an extra queen for pawn promotion. Congrats on the set and thank you for making such a wonderful channel!

What a fantastic display of human decency from them. Couldn't have sent it to a more deserving person as well.

[@OddiseeXL]

Purling London supporting you makes me want to support them! Someday when/if I can afford to, I'll have to give them some business. Thanks for the video, and thanks Purling London for supporting a great person in the chess community!

[@jackengels5077]

Hey i love your videos, so maybe i can repay you with this tip: if you want to get rid of the reflections, both on your table and on chess boards, you could put a polarizing filter (cpl) on your camera lens. Keep it up!

[@rtcommodore9354]

Wow, what a beautiful chess set. Richly deserved for being such an excellent ambassador of the game.

[@Danthrax81]

Glad you're on your way to potential sponsors. You've done us a great service. I'm reppin' for your Chan amongst my friends. 100k soon!

Congratulations, I love your channel and am always so excited when you come out with new content. And I'm never disappointed.

[@arnedierick68]

Wow that's so beautiful I'd be too scared of damaging it to play with it

[@ASMRChess]

I was at fist too. Even more with the Art Set I did in the last video with Purling. But it is stone and marble and it would actually be kind of hard to damage it.

[@adminducky]

@@ASMRChess if you manage to damage it you can consider yourself abnormally strong

[@adamsharpe9452]

Good for you! Thanks for your awesome chess videos that ooze passion

[@Anthroprophagus]

I'm always baffled at the quality of your videos, good sir! You are awesome!

[@KenY2KenTV]

This is very cool! It's a beautiful set, and I'm glad someone at Purling London was enraptured enough by your videos to want to work with you initially, and then to send you this set too. I spent a while browsing through their site after your first collaboration video with them and their sets are stunning; I certainly couldn't justify spending the money on one now, but it's the kind of thing I'd have high on a list of luxuries should I find myself with much more disposable income. What a magnificent talking piece it would make in your home. I wonder whether any ASMR Chess viewers have taken the plunge on one yet?

[@BotchedBeta]

Congratulations on the amazing sponsor. That set is beautiful. Especially that board!!

Damn that's shiny... And the pieces sound so damn good 🤤

[@jayh3805]

What a beautiful chess set, and a great video! I'm not sure if others will agree, but I think from an ASMR standpoint you may need to watch the volume playing with such a hard materials. There was some tendency for ringing, perhaps a softer material such as wood or fabric underneath the board would help. Either way, thank you for the interesting and relaxing game

[@gris6795]

very beautiful indeed, but the sound of the wood and the piece sliding on the board is unsurpassed

[@PadeJuan]

So I get to see a super fancy chess board and a sort of face reveal ;) hahah congrats man you deserve that chess board!!

[@Tiatabs13]

This set is so beautiful! It couldn’t have gone to a better owner, I know you’ll do it justice by demonstrating games that are just as beautiful! ❤️

[@slowbar1]

Smart move by Purling London, they also know that ASMR Chess is destined for a golden play button and they're making their investment now

[@SecretScholar]

Looks nice and heavy, good size, and the marble is impressive! - it also makes some really nice sounds! Congratulations to you and your rising star of a channel!

[@radcabbage2341]

So happy this was sent to you. I was sad to see the art set go!

[@NathanASMR]

wow, those pieces are absolutely gorgeous. They are an actual piece of art. I'd almost not want to play on this because its so beautifully crafted. I loved the unboxing sounds and really appreciated how you mixed in this classic ASMR style with your classic ASMR Chess style as well. PS Love the Bobby Fischer matches...he was truly one of the greatest---too bad how his story ended up in the end of everything. He's probably the greatest American chess player to ever live besides the great Paul Morphy.

[@lucysmart1476]

Wow gorgeous chess set. I’m young but I’ve always wanted to carve my own chess set.

I've watched this video a few times and the chess board gets better looking every time. I am a professional (2d) artist and probably my foremost benchmark of art is the ability to enjoy it every time you look at it. I think though the reason I took time to appreciate it is because I was spending my time appreciating your artistry first. Best channel on KZbin!

[@peteroliver3147]
