- Learn a solid chess opening for black with many attacking chances. In this video I teach you the fundamentals of the Sicilian Defense Dragon Variation. You’ll learn the basic strategy, important tactics and how to defend against the most common attacks from white. The video is aimed at beginners and players unfamiliar with the Siclian Defense Dragon Variation, but includes insights relevant for even experienced players. I also go over a game between Vishy Anand and Garry Kasparov, where we see how the Sicilian Dragon can be played at the highest level of chess.

I love how you use analogies with each piece. “One eyed sniper bishop” “kamikaze pilot”
Makes it more fun to visualize the game
Yeah you can imagine them fighting an actual battle
I feel like the hand is the only thing speaking, like the Addams Family character. Great video!
Exactly
"and his job is simple, he is a kamikaze pilot-" man i thought i signed up to learn chess
"he's going to blow himself up on d-4-" well shit man
chess is war.
And war never changes.
@@ASMRChess Fallout fan? Can you get any better?
i love how he speaks "he's going to blow himself up" so calmly
🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a King's gambit player as white and a Sicilian player as black (most games), my right hand outer center pawn never survives the opening
Yes!! More openings please!! Your tutorials just sink into my head better then others on YT
I'll make more in the future :)
This! I fell asleep half way through but i can still remember all the black moves! Also you pick very fun openings
What a wonderful idea to humanise the pieces so it is so easier to memorize the opennings !
@@ASMRChess yeah i'm so looking forward to it
They really do. The way he personifies the pieces and tells a story with them makes it much easier to understand than when it's explained like how a robot would, all very technical like.
“he started from the bottom, now he’s there” oh ASMR Chess, you rascal
I don't think i can play the Sicilian anymore, I feel too bad for Charlie!
compassion is noble, but this is war.
@@ASMRChess bro its a board game, calm yourself💀
@@nathan9901 Charlie’s fate was already decided
@@nathan9901 did you watch the video? he's calm as can be :p
@@nathan9901 Bro it's a joke, calm yourself
I am rated around 1900 but this channel is fantastic, lots of solid advice for beginners and even some stuff I had missed. All being given in a relaxing manner. Much love from the USA!!!
I hope he does more of those games between world champions
I'm really happy you get something out of the channel even though it is aimed at beginners.
Whoa, 1900?? That's crazy man, I'm only like 450, you're pretty damn good at chess
I'm rated 50. But I'm pretty sure the 49 people rated higher are all cheating.
@@ashscott6068 fun fact: you cant go under 100 elo, *under normal circumstances
The way you sing "when they do cheap tricks, you simply play e6" (14:10) sinked so much in my head. Plz, make more openings. You are amazing
I would LOVE for you to implement more triggers while talking about the theory. You will occasionally tap on the bored or flutter your fingers, but it would be great if you were constantly tapping while talking.
Great video as always
everybody who agree give a thumbs up to the parent comment (or this) so I can get a feel for how many people want this.
@@ASMRChess absolutely would love this
No please, everything is perfect just now
Yes, it feel great
"Derek is ambitious. He started from the bottom, now he's here"
Won my sub right there
Beginners love it, engines hate it. Welcome to the Sicilian Dragon!
If it is good enough for Kasparov to play in 2 world championship games (winning both btw) then I'm sure it is adequate for most people.
@@ASMRChess Kasparov could even win simply by playing the bongcloud
Haha, yeah it may get destroyed by a 3700 rated computer or Bobby Fischer but for me this opening is a beauty. Just learned it and I'm already destroying with it.
@@hansrommel208 tho even Anish Giri has a whole course on the Dragon, so it's playable
way to be negative and arrogant on an amazing video
"If Kasparov sacrifices a piece, resign" coming through in this video too! Great educational and relaxing content!
When Tal Mikhail sacrifices a Queen might as well resign 🤩
Thanks for explaining and breaking down each piece's role and function in the grand scheme of things. I've watched a lot of chess opening tutorials and you do this better than anyone I've seen. Thanks Mr Chess
Glad it was helpful!
How can anyone expect to sleep and relax when you give names to the pawns and tell "Charlie's fate is to blow up" XD
I love it. Please do more good sir.
In my Opinion this is one of the Best ASMR Videos on your Channel!
1. You are saying the Squares the Pieces Move to, so we can Imagine it during falling asleep/relaxing.
2. You are giving us Pictures/Story's for certain Structures or Pieces.
In this way during following the Moves in our Head or in General the Story, we have this Story with Pictures/feelings/Senses in our Head.
Thanks a lot for this Video, I hope you have so much Fun producing it, like we listening♥️
Thank you for the feedback! That was exactly what I was going for!
Yes! Please do a series on chess openings. Your explanations on the role of each piece is very helpful. I appreciate the thought and care that go into each production. Watching your channel is always a win-win. If your soothing voice does not lull me to sleep, then I learn so much about chess!
It's absurd how effective these analogies are in teaching the roles each unit plays. If every opening gives each unit a different role, then that's a lot of roles to learn! But thank you!
Nahh Freddie didn’t move a single time 💀
Of course, I think “I should learn about the Sicilian”, then I see this was uploaded 40 minutes ago. I commend your brainwashing tactics.
If I have a son I would name him: The one-eyed super monster sniper bishop
Ive watched this video about 20 times, sometimes I watch it to freshen up on my Sicilian and sometimes I watch it for the asmr in the background as I play chess. I would greatly appreciate more of these videos
You can clearly see that this video was well prepared as the explanation of the opeing is well explained and constructed.
I do like using the names for the pawns. Makes you care even more about then ;)
one of your best videos, giving the pieces game-specific roles and names and kind of telling a story about it made this so much better than any generic tutorial
Derek is an ambitious guy. So he started from the bottom. And now hes there. But he wants to go further…
Incredible breakdown 🙌🏾😭
It’s absurd how much the videography has improved since this account began. And the ASMR was already top class back in the old days - you haven’t stopped improving. Keep it up my guy!
The narratives you weave around the opening really help me remember and see the purpose behind the line
I love ASMR, I love chess and I'm from Sicily, this is the best video ever for me ❤
You know what??? Best ever video on chess I have ever watched and no haste like other youtubers which are very noisy and they say alot and it goes away from mind... You are just awesome.... Just like our all grandmother who has told us stories 20 years back then in our childhood and they are still with us ❤
The irony of saying things like "he's going to blow himself up" or "kamikaze pilot" in an asmr video is just too good 😂😂
Giving each piece a title and a description of its function made this a thousand times easier to remember. Because of this video, I finally have a regular answer for E4!
This was amazing. I've never even heard of the Sicilian Dragon before now. Your method of teaching is excellent, really stuck with me, and I'm so relaxed! Five stars on yelp.
Lol what a cool idea. This just has those fuzzy old documentary vibes. Very very pleasant!
I would enjoy a video with midgame tips or "mistakes that intermediates do"But nice Intro:):)
Noted!
Develop your pieces and don't hang anything. Those tips should get you to 1800 and beyond.
@@botikovi5843What does "develop" and "hang" mean?
@@runthingsanotherway bring out / activate; lose (a piece) in a dumb way
@@runthingsanotherway hanging a piece refers to having a piece freely for an enemy capture but you can’t push back with anything, not a sacrifice, and not a protected piece
Just found your channel and as a chess beginner and a guy with sleep issues, this channel is perfect for me! Big time chills within 5 seconds! Subscribed!
Never learned so much chess in one video before. Thanks.
honestly asmr chess is my favorite way to study openings. wish you did more videos like these
Thank you a million times over. I finally understand the big idea and i've been on tear.
Crush them! ♟️💪♟️
You’re my favourite ASMRtist please don’t leave us
Also, I’d love another Kasparov or Tal game :)
okay I'll do another Kasparov game :)
It's currently raining where I live and this is the perfect video to accompany it. Ultimate relaxation.
Your videos are getting even better over time, the little production touches like the intro setting the scene really help make it. Love the informative style combined with your trademark creative flair!
A moment of silence for charlie the kamikaze
My name is Charlie and I’m a kamikaze pilot 😁
After a couple failed attempts (learning experiences) I just had my first win with the Sicilian defense! They tried to trick me so I just remembered your advice, don't panic and "stick to the plan". It was a long game yet no mistakes, blunders or missed wins :) first time for me, so THANK YOU! Your channel is amazing.
niiiice! Well done!
This was great. As a beginner I found it much easier to follow and learn with the calming slower pace of ASMR. I hope you consider doing more openings and general strategy type videos. Thank you
This video came out at a perfect time, I’ve just started to build a Sicilian repertoire to go with the caro kann, and I need to get to sleep 😁. Thanks ASMR chess, ur the best
This was wonderful, thank you. Compelling and deeply relaxing at the same time. Your voice, gestures, timing and spacious clarity in explanations are all just perfect.
The more I watch your video the more i fall in love with chess
that makes me so happy!
It was almost sounding like a bedtime story, I'll adopt this method to teach my siblings. Thanks ASMR
I really like that you give the pawns names. It makes them feel more important and special, and as if they are crucial pieces, on the same level as the minor pieces…
This should honestly be more of a frequently assessed approach from the chess teaching angle. You have the luxury of taking your time, making creatively imaginative connections to alleviate initial difficulties and overall it makes the learner walk through the park. I'm sure harder things could be given the same approach. Shout out to Ishtvan most importantly.
Some semblance and scraps of comfort can be found in your videos. A rare thing indeed, my noble entertainer. Good day to you, God bless.
By far the best depiction of the Sicilian I have ever seen. Bloody brilliant.
I laughed every time you said “One eyed super monster sniper bishop”
I wish i could like a video multiple times, this is so well explained. This is one of my favourite openings, simply because it was the 3rd one id learned, after the french defense and queens gambit. And also, i love the pawns names. I know this is an old video, but i just had to watch it anyway.
I finally learned that all this time i just needed teachers to whisper to me so that I could fully understand them.
and i quote: "And Charlie has the easiest job of all... He is a kamikaze pilot" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I cannot overstate how incredible this channel is. I even deep breathe as if I'm meditating and it is hands down the most effective and enjoyable way to learn. Thank you so much. Also your replies to comments are brilliant
I recommend getting a board out in front of you and joining along to really learn this stuff well.
The humor is not lost on me. Keep these videos coming please! Thank you for this relaxing, funny, open formation information.
I have been a subscriber for quite a long time and I just got to say... you are putting out some of the highest quality ASMR content on TH-cam in my opinion. Keep up the great work!
thanks a lot man!
GOSH, this video is so perfect!!! your voice, the angle, the lights, the explanations, it´s just perfect!!!
Had a lot of fun thanks to the Sicilian. Today I did a good performance in a tournament (and most importantly, had so much fun playing) , so I wanted to thank you so much for helping me with chess
Nice! Well done!
beautiful board and pieces. i want a chess set like this
I would LOVE a video on the London system. Your videos are relaxing and it makes the information sink in a whole lot better.
2 things that i like in one video and you posted this at 11 pm, perfect timing, love it. Liked the vid cuz i had already subbed :)
Thanks for subbing!
@@ASMRChess thank you for making awesome videos with great explanation
I love the sound in this video. It s so crisp and the way the „t“s and „d“s pop is super tingly to me.
I watched this video a few weeks ago and last week sunday I decided to try the sicilian for the first time when my club was playing against another club. I won my game, thanks to your video.
I’ve watched this video quite a few times now and honestly I really appreciate your writing and the simplicity of your explanation
29:24 haha I love that moment of silence trying to remember what you wanted to say. Love the video btw.
ASMR + actually really nice intros to chess strategy / openings = pure gold! More please!
Let me tell you that I absolutely enjoyed this video. I am usually completely against ASMR anything, but the way you describe and explain not only the moves but the strategy behind them was extremely valuable. Thanks so much! Look forward to more videos.
Also, naming the pawns is something that I didn't realize I would enjoy so much LOL.
Thanks! Really cool that you can enjoy it despite not being into ASMR! Gotta give credit to GM Simon Williams (awesome chess channel: GingerGM) for the naming of the pawns.
Im currently at 1121😭 i found that i love chess and all the strategies that come with so i am thankful for having found this channel!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
id love some more opening videos like this, the way you describe everything is so simplified in such a complex game it makes it all so understandable
Made a few anotations and watched this twice to cement most of the moves!
The principles are making a lot more sense. The generalized role of each piece is becoming clearer.
On my way to have fun with this 'Tales of war' board game. :)
This is one of the best tutorials I have watched so far. You make it more interesting; and it is easier to remember what each piece is doing.
Please continue to teach this way.
Love the transitions at the beginning :)
Commentary is genius - had me in stitches. Well played sir.
Very Thanks for this video. It's a lesson about the plans of Sicilan-dragon variation, while it's more usual just memorize the firsts movies.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ok these are my two favorite TH-cam genres what a blessing this channel is
Fantastic, I've been playing chess at the end of every date with my girlfriend and your videos have been very helpful
Mother of god! I've just found the BEST CHANEL EVER
I dunno why but I love it when you name the pawns.
This is pretty incredible. I've been playing this opening exclusively with my friend who is around 1500 ELO and I've beat him everytime. He did play some varient moves but it's amazing how this opening just works. Like I feel like it's cheating with how well it works.
I watch your videos over and over again. At night you put me to sleep and in the daytime, I try to absorb your chess wisdom. There is so much to learn. You are the only teacher who makes me feel that the chessboard has distinctive geographic places instead of being just a numbered and lettered graph, and that the pawns are little personalities, not just...well, pawns!
So happy you like my stuff - thanks for sharing!
This video greatly improved my performance when playing as black... Sort of ashamed of myself as I'm too lazy to properly learn theory lol so I just "blindly" follow the instructions from the video.
Love your channel, The only ASMR I used to listen to was Ting Ting until I discovered your channel, being a chess player. Thank you so much.
which chess set are you using ?
LMAO CHESS ASMR
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FIND A CHESS ASMR CHANNEL
bruh fr i am so in love w these videos they are qualitively so gripping i love the naming of the pawns (didnt knew this before) i like the references. its just.. u really enjoy to watch!
You are my favorite TH-cam channel. I have been watching since before the queens gambit and it felt like it was just me and you in the Smokey cafe. And you have grown so gracefully, and your videos now are so high quality. I basically have notifications for your channel without having TH-cam notifications on at all. I honestly get impatient waiting for each next video, and I have scrolled long for the sake of it
Wow, thank you!
AAGHHH i used it on my dad and won with a checkmate!!! i am so happy right now! thank u for teaching me!
NICE!
I love you explain each of the opening moves. Rather than this is the opening you explained the reasoning behind it. So many tutorials don't go into such details
I really enjoyed this! Would love more content like this
More to come!
Won my first dragon game, very helpful and relaxing video! 😎
BOOM! Congratz!
I love your channel so much and I am absolutely addicted to your videos. I can’t put into words about how I feel about these type of videos, but it is a wonderful experience to learn chess while feeling relaxed. Your accent and your chess board are beautiful, and your vibe is so nice. Thank you so much for making these videos :)
ASMR and chess is the most random Thing i ever heard. And I like it
Thank you! This is my 4th time watching this and the first time I didn't fall asleep half way through!
So I get good sleep or learning a new opening 🤣😂
I enjoyed this so much.
Holy crap chest ASMR.. I am one lucky guy to have come across this, I would not have even thought to search this
All hail the algorithm
Aight, got it.
Starting on my fifth turn I just stop letting my opponent play and move every piece I own into position.
I can work with that.
i love that the venn diagram of ASMR and Chess is large enough to support this channel
That ending game explanation blew my mind. Genius.
Thank you so much for your excellent teaching videos specifically with real pieces and clear and interesting voice 😊
