It's Time To Say Goodbye ♔ ASMR Chess

  • Nothing good lasts forever. I've been playing the Budapest Defense against 1. d4 for many years now, but recently a young opponent sprung a completely new system against me and I realized it is time to say farewell to this great opening. We've had many adventures together! Countless are the number of sacs on h3, the satisfying rook-lifts in the Adler-variation or the smothered mates in the Rubinstein-variation. Now I'm onto new adventures and I'm excited to see what my new weapon against the dreaded 1. d4 will be!

      Because my channel is dying unfortunately. Even though I am working 10 times as hard as I have ever done, my views are lower than they’ve been ever since my channel started growing. Every day is worse than the last. If the channel goes on like this for two more months it will be completely dead.

Your videos are what got me excited to actually LEARN the game instead of just guessing. I still play the Sicilian because of your older videos. I know that the title was clickbait, but by whatever means you need to keep this channel going, all power to you. I’m sure I can speak for most of your community that you’ve made a considerable and very positive impact on the chess community and we appreciate you very much. Keep going, and I’m very hopeful that everything turns out good for you and the channel, because from all the effort you put into this, you deserve it.

      @@ASMRChess Understandable, but, quite a jarring emotional shift to try to make a relaxing video after trying to shock people. While clickbait titles do work it's important to think about whether the emotion you're invoking suits the style of content. Maybe I'll be wrong but I'd expect this dissonance to have an effect on algorithm metrics such as videos watch time and like ratio, time will tell I suppose.

      unfortunately i dont think he has a choice. as he said in another comment 'Even though I am working 10 times as hard as I have ever done, my views are lower than they’ve been ever since my channel started growing'. Hes pushing out so many videos, all good quality but i think the reason his views are decreasing is that most of his videos are the same (i enjoy whatever he uploads). so someone who has seen one of his chess videos and didnt like it, never watches another because they are mostly all so similar. while i understand the channel is dedicated to chess because that is what he enjoys, i think if he wants to continue growing the channel he should try other things. for me, hes gotten to the point where when i see ASMR Chess, i dont think of asmr about chess, i think of the voice and his mannerisms. for that reason i dont think making videos unrelated to chess would be a bad idea. it doesnt even have to not be chess, but something other than just a game. it could be reading chess theory or looking at and making sounds with chess pieces, just something different. thats just what i think, im not at all sure how the algorithm or youtube recommendations work.

    My god. My heart sank. I’m relatively new to your channel within the last 3-5 months but I am a Patreon. You’ve inspired me to start playing chess again, and, to actually learn chess, rather than just, “play” chess.
    I used to play with my dad when I was younger and we now live quite far apart. Because of you, we have reconnected through online chess and have never been closer.
    I hope this brings you the financial support you need to continue and to grow. You touch people in a way you may not even understand, you’ve reconnected families, rekindled lost love and brought a new audience to an ancient pass time.
    Thank you. From a loyal, loving and highly appreciative Patreon.

You’re the best to fall asleep to and your calm asmr style works to keep me calm when practicing with my physical chess board, especially opposed to my high energy fast videos on TH-cam.

    Read the title and panicked, started the video and started laughing. The fear was real because I know smaller, more independent TH-cam creators are being pushed out, and the laughter was real because I love seeing high quality, smaller creators being smart about the algorithm. I'm glad to see you taking the reality of what is required for success on TH-cam seriously. Thanks for producing such incredible work and keep on doing whatever you need to keep this going :)

    I am in love with the little variations in your mixes from video to video - they're all consistently super high quality, but each distinct in little ways that give them their own identity. There are just really subtle differences like mic setups and different frequency responses that absolutely melt my brain. It really gives me the impression that you're always experimenting and developing, which is endlessly charming.
    I would absolutely love to see an in depth ASMR Chess production breakdown, what tech/fx you use, and how you make your voice sound even more buttery smooth than it already is :)
    (P.S. You genuinely terrified me with that video title!! Please don't scare us like that!!😭😭)

      Ooh an audiophile! I’m so happy you notice this as I feel that most listeners can’t actually tell the difference. I always try to make the audio a little better or a little different. I think my next project is to go more raw; just high quality large diaphragm mics with no post processing.

    i actually love this video so much. i hope you see this!
    just the situation of it all. you admitting your ego is so refreshing to hear and made the experience all the more relaxing. and the fact that yoy were beaten by such a strange idea, and now im no real chess strategist, im a casual chess player in passing, but i could SEE how screwed your knight was. and you saying you just didnt see it until it was too late, so humbling yet gratifying. chess players admitting their errors and being amazed by them is so lovely imo.
    also idk why but i love you not showing us the rest. it doesnt prove the point to continue. the point isnt a crazy checkmate or intense back and fourth. it was over by the point you stopped. and i love that. it feels like a story meant to be unsatisfying and yet is all the more satisfying from the fact that this dissatisfaction is so perfectly achieved.

    I’m sorta a newbie to chess, I’ve been playing since October, and your videos help motivate me. When I first started learning very fundamentals of chess, I stumbled upon your ASMR explanation of the Sicilian hyper accelerated dragon variation. I practiced it to death. I fell in love with that variation, and in turn it helped me to fall in love with the game of chess. Today I went to my first in real life chess meeting, like, ever, and played my first in person games with other people, besides playing casually with friends who I’d beg to be my opponents (who, no offense to my friends, but they don’t play chess often and therefore aren’t that good of opponents). I got paired against a guy twice my age, with a decade of experience, and I’m not going to lie, it was very nerve wracking for me, I’m not a social person. I played sicilian and attempted a version of the dragon variation - I lost. However, I lasted a long time in that game, and could tell I made him have to think. It was mostly only one miscalculation towards the end that set my grave. Me and him played two other games, which I also both lost, but I had more fun than I had in a long time. I really love chess, I’m passionate about it, and ever yearning to learn more about it. Thank you for helping me discover that love of chess

It sounds like you not only played a dragon but also slayed a dragon by overcoming your nerves and going to an in-person chess event. No THAT is cool! And you gave your opponent a fight that you can learn from! Did you write down the game? If so, please share! I applaud you and your courage in going in to this event and I can't wait to hear how the next one goes! Best, HSMR
