this video inspired me to combine my love for chess and ASMR and try my luck with my very own ASMR-Chess video. Thanks a tonne for all the great relaxation and for the inspiration to do something myself. Love.
It’s funny. For all the great strides you’ve made at improving the quality of your videos over the years, this one is still one of my main go-to videos for relaxing after work.
I did not really liked the serie because it don't explain a lot about chess, it is just the theme but not more... But it is really good to see new players
This man have been making videos for 7+ years and only has 877k followers. He should be over a million. ER is up there with the best of the best when it comes to ASMR
Anyone else hate when you're watching a few ASMR videos and you have the volume all the way up from your previous video, and then you click on a new one and the AD deafens you!??!😂😂
It seems on almost everyone ASMR video I watch there are people complaining about the relaxing atmosphere and whispering/low toned voice, the tapping and scratching etc... you know, the very basic things that makes an ASMR video. Why the hell do these people watch ASMR videos if they hate ASMR videos? I just... I can't lol.
+Visziaack hunting is against some people's beliefs so they find comment sections of the subject to complain...i don't think it's the same with asmr videos :)
How to play chess: ♟ Pawn: you get 8 pawn pieces. They are located at the front row as the small pieces. The first ever move you make with all those piece, you can choose to move forward one space or 2. But only on the first move of every pawn. Rooks: you get 2 rookies. These are located in the corners of the board. They look like a castle. These pieces can be moved as far as you want front, back,right,left but never diagonal. Knights: you get 2 knights. knights are located right next to the rook piece. These look like horses. With this you can move one square one way and then 2 squares another way. Bishop: you get 2 bishops. Bishops are next to the knights. This piece has a slit in the top. It kind of looks like a frown (opposite to a smile). The queen: you get 1 queen. The queen is located next to the bishop on any side (I say any because you’re other opponent has to place their queen on the opposite bishop to theirs so that the queens aren’t aligned). The queen is the second tallest piece so you can’t miss it. The queen is important because it can go ANY direction as FAR as it wants. This is a useful piece. The king: you get 1 king. The king is located next to your queen. Usually has a cross at the top of your piece. This piece you MUST protect at all cost. If your king gets taken, you loose. The king can only move 1 space any direction. Making it very vulnerable. You are allowed to cross over your pieces with the knights and rooks (but some people don’t allow rooks to be crossed over your pieces because it makes your rook a bit overpowered). For the other pieces you can not just ‘jump over/cross over’ another piece. Take out your opponents king.
I love this video. You're one of my favorite ASMR creators and you also make more videos than most and I am very appreciative of that. These types of videos where you calmly explain things are my favorites, especially this one since I love chess.
I can't believe this came out over 4 years ago. I remember when it did. It was one of my favorite asmr vids cuz it would put me to sleep in a few minutes. Let's see if it still.....zzzzzz......
8 years later, I get this video tagged to me on Twitter, and you know, this video is as strong today as it was the day it was uploaded. I have seen a lot of ASMR videos on chess, but this was the best at describing castling, en passant, and the 'white square to the right' rule. This was really nice to watch.
That's how I came across asmr. Jumped into a gaming video and everything was whispered and there was tapping. I was rlly confused but now I love asmr lol
I havent seen one of your videos in awhile but im glad I came across this one. Your videos always make me me so relaxed. And I needed it! So thank you :)
i love your fucking work ER, the amount of times i have used your content to get me through law study is unbelievable. you're definitely helping people from all walks of life here, bit of a crazy thought when you consider how many, im sure.
EphemeralRift, I'm thoroughly enjoying your channel. Thank you for taking so much of your time to create these top-notch ASMR videos for us. They're easily some of the best out there.
Honestly I was falling asleep at the beginning of the video but I managed to go through the whole video idk how I did it its like an hour long lol but now I know a lot more about this game now I just need to play thanks for the tutorial :)
If has not already been cleared up, this is the ranks and files setup: It starts from the white side or white view. The bottom left corner or the closest left corner from the white view is a1. The squares are all named accordingly with the ranks being 1-8 and the files a-h. Great video!
+Cameron He means that they might have been expecting a normal, fast-paced chess lesson but instead got a slow, quiet, and (from the point of view of someone who has never experienced ASMR) weird video.
ASMR works like your arm going asleep.It's like when you cut off just enough circulation to feel pins and needles in your arm, but not so much it goes all the way numb. ASMR videos has just enough stimuli to keep your subconscious mind aware of it and not start sleep, but not enough for your conscious mind to pay attention. That forces parts of your mind to feel "pins and needles" by numbing just enough of your reactionary brain for the mind to start sending signals to the sensory areas of the mind causing tingles, and other sensations.
I have a cool hand crafted chess set that uses African animals as the pieces. The pawns are gazelles, the rooks are elephants, the knights are rhinos, the bishops are giraffes, and the king and queen are a lion and lioness.
I already no how to play chess, but i needed a tune up, and OMG ASMR, so i was like deffo lets watch, and i dont normally get asmr of a mans voice but this is sooo relaxing and tingley

This is a masterpiece
Look at you now your the best asmr yt
Was this anyone else's first Ephemeral Rift video? This was before I knew what ASMR was. Thanks ER.
Shaftell nah, but my very first asmr video was relax with satan.
My first was his TFHS initiation vid.
finding a survivor in the zombie apocalypse
@Shaftell interestingly, it seems to be what sparked the creation of the ASMR Chess channel!
The easiest way you could describe the knight's movement is in an "L" shape. Or a Tetris "L" shape. That's the way I've always pictured it
Either "L" or "Г" shape.
Jon Mustache or a sideways "L"
I like to think of it as a bubble since all 8 possible moves together look like that. 2 knights next to each other make it an oval
I picture it like a svastika.
xMRxDNAX I picture it as the star of david
How did I miss this video. It's like new videos pop up every day and they are multiple years old.

ASMR works like your arm going asleep.It's like when you cut off just enough circulation to feel pins and needles in your arm, but not so much it goes all the way numb.

That forces parts of your mind to feel "pins and needles" by numbing just enough of your reactionary brain for the mind to start sending signals to the sensory areas of the mind causing tingles, and other sensations.
This is very nice! I actually prefer hearing the speaking over the whispers, I vote for more speaking videos! :)
