This video is intended for relaxation, sort of like a guided meditation that you can use to wind off or fall asleep to. I speak english with a soft voice and a danish accent while I walk you through each move of this amazing game. I explain everything as if I was talking to a complete chess beginner, so it should be easy for everybody to follow along. And who knows? Maybe you'll even learn how to win in chess yourself!

For anyone who is interested in the story behind the name of this game: As said in the video this game was played in 1852 between Anderssen and Dufresne. This game was first analyzed by Howard Staunton in 1853; then by Wilhelm Steinitz, the first world champion, in 1879. Steinitz famously remarked the game and described it as, "an evergreen in the laurel crown of the departed chess hero." A lovely showing of admiration from a world champion. Hence, The Evergreen Game.

I'm fairly sure I know why queen f5 is played at 17:10. He's trying to generate a tactic where he captures the pawn on e5 with knight on c6, when the knight on f3 recaptures he can win the knight on e4. This doesn't work if the queen is on g6 because when whites knight captures on e5 it would attack the queen, so black doesn't have time to take the e4 knight
The problem is that if white recaptures with the knight on e5, black has to re-take with the queen and can't take on e4 with the bishop first. Otherwise rook takes bishop, and then the knight on e5 is protected. If queen takes the rook it's mate in 3.
Of course the queen taking on e5 also has problems because now white can move the knight on e4 and attack the queen with the rook, also pinning the knight on e7. Stockfish also gives the absolutely savage bishop xe7, which cannot be recaptured because if king or queen recaptures the knight on e4 moves, pinning the queen to the king.
I also think he's trying to load up on the pawn on e5 though, probably plans to castle and move the knight on e7 to g6 or something
I stopped the video and scrolled all the comments to find out what was that move about. Finally I found your precious contribute, thank you both!
Hikaru is crying in a corner
These historical walkthroughs are highly informative, excellently presented, and perfectly paced.
I have begun watching a different one each night before a tournament or other chess event, they really help me get into the correct mindset, and of course relax!!
I do really enjoy when you suddenly whisper
Your videos about historical games are my favourite asmr experiences in general, so relaxing and so interesting! :)
wow i'm proud of myself that i managed to calculate white's winning sequence. i literally jumped on chair when i saw that
well done!
This game is so crazy. He’s sitting in multiple mate in 1s for like 10 moves but just doesn’t care. Great video, my favorite ASMR and chess TH-camr!
yea Anderssen really was something else!
Nice timimg. I was looking for something to watch before going to sleep and a new ASMR chess video pops up saving me. Thank you for the amazing content :D
Anderssen was a true gentleman, specially because of his classy behavior and for his admiration for Morphy and the fact that he wasn't chickening out like Staunton
I love your historical chess coverage. They have a really interesting story that catches peoples and you excellently tell it! Immediate favorite. Thank you!
Man I've been watching your videos all day & you dropped another one. Thank you! Very impressed with your content.
Man, I've been watching your videos for almost three years now. Favorite ASMR artist.
I really enjoy your videos my friend, you've become one of my favourite ASMRtists. Keep doing the soft spoken with a little bit of some sudden unexpected whispering, I think it's the perfect combination for relaxing. Cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Bro, it is great to see your channel growing. I always love the deep analysis. I like to live in the black and white, and so I very much appreciated your philosophical commentary at the end that brought messy chess and messy life together. Keep up the great work!
This is my favorite game!!! I'm so glad to see (and hear) the ASMR version
Amazing content ! Thanks again for all your recent videos, very high quality. As I keep playing chess over months, I feel a genuine progress notably thanks to your videos. I’be been digging channels quite a lot in TH-cam for over a decade but rarely have I been so thrilled by a channel as yours. It’s so relaxing and instructive, I never miss one video even if I don’t comment them all ! So thanks again, big shoot out to your work ☺️
Thank you very much for that comment! I'm happy to hear that you also feel some progress in your game! Keep going my man!

I was just wondering if you were going to post today. Excellent work as always, keep up the great work!
I love this format, please do more famous games like this!
I will and I have already done a bunch that you can find on the channel. May I recommend you start with The Immortal Game or The Opera Game? I quite proud of those.
Really like the return of the black background, great vid as usual!
Over the last few videos you’ve been more talkative than whisper and I’d prefer more whisper. Just a thought but worthwhile thinking about I think. Other than that, love the topics 👍🏼
Man, you really are the best there is. Quality throughout every video!
Wow, thanks!
My team just got kicked out of the CL (inter) so perfect time for your video. Time to relax and go to bed
Love your videos.. appreciate your work ✌🏼
Thank you so much 😀
Couldn't really recall how this game went so it's nice to see it again
insane game, cant believe both were so close to check mate in such few moves
life is just better when you upload 😍
my guess: dufresne’s queen to the center was an attempt to mix up in the middle. it was not thought out.
👑
love,
david
Thanks so much man
Your best video thus far.! So beautiful, with small imperfections (apparently). 😘
beautiful video
I can't believe I'm this early for once. Cheers to yet another masterpiece of a video!
Cheers!
If you’re looking to do more tutorial style videos I wouldn’t mind one on the Scandinavian defense :)
“Anderssen just wants to attack to king.” Very interesting.
Loving all the new and regular uploads man!
Gotta ask though, what happened to the Battlefield 2 vid? Found that one so damn relaxing.
You’re easily my favourite ASMR channel out there, keep it up brother ❤️
Had to take it down for stupid youtube-reasons :(
@@ASMRChess damn that sucks :( Still, can’t complain too much cause everything you put out is top tier
@@ASMRChess Damn shame, it was legitimately one of my favorite ASMR videos. If you still have the file, is there any chance you would upload it to some other platform (Dailymotion for example)?
At 41:35 why not play Be2 rather than Bf5? Is it just that both lead to very similar results so there's no particular reason to prefer one to the other?
Funny enough theres a kid who used to go to my school who was the best chess player in the county and one of the best in the state (highschool rankings) and his last name was evergreen.
Every game he played was an evergreen game!
He moved the queen to get a trump card for the advance of the knights. Once the first knight moved, the other can move and be protected by the first. Moving the queen let’s you take space and back up a pawn or something that would attack the knight. Just an idea, that’s kinda what I was looking at at that point in the video.
So what do you think? Accurate? Or too weak a move for a master?
At 17:39 , doesnt the knightsac on d6 work?
Yes just on time since I'm going to bed!!!!😀😀😀
17:13 the knight on e was threatening to go on g5 and attack the f7 square
Or may be the bishop could also attack the f7 with a fork to king and queen and the queen on other hand would not be able to capture the knight because it was protected by the other knight
I think this was the reason to play queen to f5
Let's go brother!!!
Lets goooo
Could it be he was protecting f7 from ng5 then bf7 ?
16:58
He could have used the knight that is close to the castle to be infront of the queen and the queen cant actually touch it cause it will die and the risk isnt worth it so the knight can kill the pawn and when in that place he cant kill the knight with the king cause hes being “sniped” by the bishop hence giving the knight a chance to kill the rook or the rook moves and there can be no castle cause of the rook moving
Ps: thats just my guess i am no chess expert at all
The queen f5 move was anticipating knight f to h4 so it prevents that I guess.
45:17 hsmr telling us about our beauty as imperfect beings ☺️
Could Dufresne at 25:07 not just capture the pawn in front of the king and thats check mate? Or am I just stupid right now?
Well he could if it was his move, but it wasn’t. And every move Anderssen made thereafter was with check so Dufresne never had time to capture the pawn and checkmate.
13:47 For a second I thought the bishop went from B7 to B6 lol
16:18 bars homie
I stay on the 64 squares, while patrolling the center/ Trading space from material, the time zone, I enter / It’s calculated by movement, from pushed pieces / Advancements and development, once the pawn reaches/ To 8th ranked, now heavily armed with a tank/My opponent’s base is threatened, soldiers cut with shanks / Moved all my small pieces, MC’s are driven back / Unable to avoid capture from the attack Such movement, is naturally quite unsound / Men is badly placed upon dangerous grounds/ Loosening their position, before they were strongly posted / Before the double rooks had approached it / They must of been quick to ignore the principles /Rock a V and an effective God is invincible / A strategic plan, just the way I envisioned it/ Many fallen soldiers in complete imprisonment/

@@ASMRChess OH DANG 🔥🔥🔥
Love your content by the way
I think Dufresne was thinking about Queen and Bishop hitting the f2 square. Maybe he thought that if he could get rid of knight on f3 with an exchange that he would have a powerful attack.
Interesting. It does sound like a very likely explanation!
I want to say that black was worried about ng5 and then bf7 which loses his queen?
thats actually a pretty good explanation! Interesting.
17:10 I don't know why he played this move, but i can say why I play moves like this a bunch
"I have just developed pieces, well, made some obvious good moves, well,
what next? ah... may be this? - Oh! I have completely ruined everything, gg"
we all know the feeling lol :)
Its not that he's trying to generate a tactic where he can sacrifice his knight for the e pawn and then when the knight on f3 recaptured he takes the knight on e4
If the queen is on g6 it doesn't work because the when the knight recaptured the e pawn it attacks the queen so no time to recapture the knight on e5
Could you make a video on kasparovs scotch opening games?
It is on the list, but the list is long.
17:18 He plays Qf5 because if the Knight moves, NOw the queen is ponting to te f2 pawn, is a pin (plis comente ASMR cehss)
I wonder all chess players have to play solo often?
Had me fooled at adolf💀 0:27
here it is!
you are always so fast to comment on these videos! It's amazing :D
@@ASMRChess :D
14:50 I thought we were getting a square space ad😂😂
lol
best thing to do is comment when you get two 15 minute adds in a row
he did a blunder, literally no reason why that queen should have been moved
Nc6, not Nf6
Bob Ross going chessboard
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I don't suppose there's any chance you'll do more stuff with openings?
There will be!
Why on earth didn't black checkmate white with the queen? He had SO MANY opportunities to do that. That game would've been over.
I stared at this for a long time trying to figure that out. No idea. O_O
Edit: Nevermind. I see later on that the king being unable to take the queen rule is not being respected in this game. =\
That is because it is not a rule in real chess.
@@ASMRChess Crazy. I've never heard that before. I guess I've never played real chess. =\
17:14 probably a mouse slip
That’s it! You win for best suggestion!
60th comment n 2,379th view lets go xd i dont write something like this but whatever. Whats cracking homie hope u having nice day 🤗
sup. Not bad fam, not bad. U?
@@ASMRChess not bad either. Yo btw i always get motivation to play chess after watching your videos tho. Last year On march 29 i created chess.com Acc n got 800 elo on rapid time control Now 1 year later my elo increased to 1600(currently). I must say thank you for that. Because when it comes to playing chess my biggest weakness is my mental/spirit. So i thank you for keeping me motivated.☺
They both blundered so bad.
No
Second/third ish
by my count you are second :) hope you like the video!
Will you marry me? Love how you think, powerful but also relaxing!
Awesome video! if you get time I make content too and I’m really trying to grow my channel ❤️ keep grinding.
:D
Played by Adolf…👀😳 Anderson😮💨😅
No need to apologize... There is nothing like too much in a chess analyzing video
FIRST??!!
yup!
17:05
Only thing I can think of is he was preparing to take the pawn on e5 with the knight, or perhaps move the knight on e7 after castles and load up even more on e5. The computer says the position is still very much in white's favor, and there are a few moves that are still completely winning for white other than bishop xd3 (rook ad1 and knight eg5 are both at least +4 according to depth 20 chess dot com stockfish). I would guess he just missed bishop xd3, and in fairness any other white move does improve the position for black, even if still completely winning for white.
My idea was he was concerned about getting the queen trapped by nh5 filled by f3 or be2 depending on black’s response. This move offer black f4 for his queen, still central but cannot be punished without dropping material
qf5 targets f2 and allows king side pawns to be developed towards the white king.
