That board reminds me of the Japanese art of kintsugi, repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer to highlight the imperfections and history of the object.

[@Musicrafter12]

That first capture at 10:25 is just so good. Sounds absolutely delicious. Hard to explain why. So smooth.

[@Elias_Solomos]

I think this kind of videos are the best because the sound quality is extraordinary when you speak in real time and not record the audio afterwards. 👌👌

[@izicrack180]

asmr x chess is the crossover we didnt know we needed till we actually got it

@@eribot2222 it’s art

[@ssteiner_24]

@@eribot2222 I assume that it is an expensive wood used and aswell manifactured, lacquered, painted and applied with gold by hand which takes quite some time. On top of that there will be a high margin as it is a luxury product... That more or less will generate the price I think

[@ikophi7093]

i love how that queen is just bait and Tal is almost saying "your greed will mark your end"

[@ericm1839]

I think there is something kinda poetic about the final position where you promote to a queen. That queen that you sacrificed so early on to open a devastating diagonal for your kings indian bishop, that queen you sacrificed so your knight could rampage through your enemy's ranks to clear space, that queen you sacrificed to break the pawn through comes back to the board to deliver the final blow. You sacrificed your queen to give it new life while your opponent was up a queen most of the game and had nothing to show for it.

[@HMONGLORRYDER]

Yooo I like this design on the board and pieces!

[@ghfudrs93uuu]

This guy knows how to make people fall in love wit chess. Just show them Tal games

[@SpicyMelonYT]

The art style on the board looks a lot like Kintsugi. It’s the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. We used this method in my life drawing 2 art final in college but with the body. I drew gold cracks out of the eyes of an old blind man sketch I made using gold paint, graphite and charcoal. Never thought I would actually be able to use that knowledge outside my art class haha
