The Queen's Gambit is a mainstay in chess opening theory. It is a great opening for beginners and improvers, because at the lower levels you can achieve much the same setup in most games, helping you get familiar with the themes, strategies and tactics of the opening. At the same time the Queen's Gambit is an opening you can have with you for your entire chess life. It can be played at the beginner level, the club level, the grandmaster level and even at the world championship level. It will never get out of style, it will never get refuted and you'll always be able to find new and fascinating ways to play it.
In this video you'll get a deep strategic understanding of what your pieces want to do and why in the Queen's Gambit. I believe it is most helpful for beginners and improvers to understand the ideas, plans and concepts rather than memorizing endless opening variations and then be left clueless as soon as their opponent deviates. After this strategic introduction I will show an example game so you can see for yourself how deadly the QG can be in effect.
I will make at least one follow-up video (coming out about a week's time after this one) where I go over the most common responses to the Queen's Gambit, so you'll have an overview of all the different stuff black can try and hit you with.
If you are new to the channel I can understand if you are wondering about the peculiar manner in which I speak. This video is not only a chess tutorial, it is also what is known as an ASMR video. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is described as a "tingling sensation" one can have when listening to a soft or whispery voice. The point is to relax the listener and maybe help them sleep. It is also known to be effective against anxiety and have a general calming effect. I can also have the exact opposite effect, which is known as misophonia. If you get inexplicably angry when hearing my voice, please do not be alarmed. This is normal and happens to about 5% of people. You can either vent your anger by writing a nasty comment (not generally recommended) or listening to powerful music - if you are into metal then put on some thrash, if you are into hiphop put on some MOP and scream it out (recommended).
In the video I say Capablanca and Alekhine played their WcM in 1934, which is incorrect. That match was played in 1927, but they played 34 games which was how I got it mixed up. - Розваги

Mixing chess with ASMR is one of those "I'm surprised no one thought of this sooner!" ideas. Love your content man, keep killing it!
Bern doing it for 7 years but only Got popular 8 months ago

Chess: You are the general

Chess: The manager, the leader

Chess: and your job is to know what everybody should be doing and help them get to the point where they can do it well

But seriously this is a new favorite-the extra breakdown of “whys” and repetition of fundamentals is so good- plus I find myself simply relaxing and taking it in. Thank you 💕
Thanks my friend!
as a newbie, I've been trying to look into more openings, and this seems perfect! Thank you, and good night, Chess ASMR
You actually got me into learning Swedish again, that was an offer i couldn’t refuse. Tack!
Hur går det för dig att lära dig svenska språket?
@@mrranto5789 jeg tror ikke han lærte det
Roligt! 😃
You’re becoming more and more confident in the way that you speak with each upload 🥺 (as you should because you’re an insanely knowledgable teacher!) I’ve loved watching this channel grow and can’t wait to continue to do so 🥳💜
Thank you and thank you for commenting so often with great support!
@@ASMRChess of course! You’re basically doing gods work haha, it’s only right you get due recognition 😅😌
Where's the $1000 chess set, that thing was soooo satisfying, can u use it in future videos pls
it will be featured in future videos :)
Yeah I liked it too
@@ASMRChess True, it is great, but I actually like the classic, wooden one better; maybe the golden middle is to use one chess set for one type of videos, and the second for another; or just alternate it to match the climax of the content presented ;)
Among the countless times I have watched this video, NOT A SINGLE TIME have I been able to make it all the way to the end without falling asleep
Music to my ears!
honestly think i've learned more chess awareness and skills from you in 3 weeks than i ever have at any other point in my life. Keep up the excellent work my man
As a 900 rated player, this is my favourite opening! At my level a significant portion of people just take the pawn every time. Thanks for teaching me what to do after :p
Love the deep explanations on each move's diferences. I always like to understand why im doing what im doing so thank you for that
“You use the next best thing, C4”
Damn straight
But in reality amazing video very descriptive and relaxing I appreciate the content
Hi! I absolutely love your chess channel, keep up your good work! I actually love your channel so much that I'm going to write a short essay below explaining why exactly it is so great, as well as dropping a few suggestions here and there ;)
To begin with, watching your chess content is a magical experience, because you present it in a way that conveys the spirit of the game, the philosophy and patience behind each move. You tackle things slowly, which makes people think on their own, rather than shouting out 20-move lines which nobody understands. You portray chess as a subtle art full of mystery, not a boring math exercise, and that is perhaps why I love your channel so much. Second of all, you don't just cover random chess content; you really take time to pick things of profound import, and that's why your videos have the power to inspire, to open minds. Finally, you explain things very clearly, omitting all the confusing complications that inevitably are part of the game of chess, but perhaps are not essential to understanding the main point.
As for suggestions, I don't really have much to say other than continue what you've already been doing. I love analysis of historical games, especially when there is some background story around them; I love short puzzles and now I love opening videos too. About the latter, I think that there is a lot of potential here. Other channels that discuss opening theory are rather dry and can get pretty boring and unintuitive, but you really have a knack for expressing the purpose behind each move. Combined with your excellent storytelling I think you could demystify opening theory, getting people to think while at the same time keeping them captivated.
For example, as a beginner I don't really understand the difference between various responses to Queen's Gambit by black. I play an opening because its moves look optically sound, but I don't know how to follow it up. And I can imagine ASMR chess calmly explaining to me the strategic difference between the Tarrasch and the Grunfeld, how not to mess up setting up the King's Indian; how to coordinate your pieces out of each opening, where to break through in the position, etc. To some, chess openings are about memorising lines. To me, each is like a unique painting with a unique feel and possibilities, and I'd love a youtube channel that would approach it this way. I think you do and could build upon that. I loved that you included an example game, btw, as it is impossible to understand an opening without insight into troubles that it poses for the opponent in the middlegame, as well as concessions that you need to make in return for getting the setup you desire.
Also, another idea for a video: what about selecting a thematic topic in chess, such as a knight outpost, the greek gift, piece coordination, material vs. piece activity; firstly explaining the general idea, then going through some thematic puzzles together, and finally, studying a game or two where this topic proves to be crucial in securing a win? I think it would be both useful and fun.
And another thing. Opening theory, middlegame concepts, endgame patterns, historical games, tactical puzzles; this is all fun, but they are just different aspects of the same thing: the actual game. We might know all these, but when when we sit down and play suddenly we don't know how to apply our knowledge, or we think we do and then we err and collapse. How do grandmasters do it, that they jump around the board with their pieces, shuffling around nobody knows for what purpose, and then even though the material is equal, they emerge with a winning position? What do you do in chess when it seems there is nothing to be done, when the position seems equal; how do you make your opponent err and how do you avoid mistakes that can cost you the game? How do you understand the implications of the smallest of moves; how a single pawn push can sometimes change the course of the game? These are some abstract topics that could also be covered in future videos, as a series of intellectual chess meditations, taking up a a topic and the reflecting on it, possibly utilising some examples in the process; in form of existing puzzles, game excerpts or even chess compositions of your own. How do you actually evaluate a chess position? What do you need to think about before making a move? Questions that every serious chess player has asked themselves, questions that don't have definitive answers but are designed as a way of going ever deeper into an infinitely deep ocean of wisdom within.
Coming back down to earth, videos about the greatest chess players of all time would also be welcome. Not only showing their games, but telling what is known of their story, demonstrating their playing style, their chess philosophy, the highlights of their career, their best games and worst blunders...
All right, this is long enough already. Maybe I got carried away with all the suggestions, but these are just to inspire you to keep doing what you already are - great videos about chess. I'm sure that if you invest all your heart into it, this will become one of the top chess channels in the world, and you will be more than able to make a living out of it. I wish you all the best, and am anxious to see more amazing content!
Most underrated comment
Was just heading to sleep, perfect timing! Can't wait to watch:)
Do you live in the UK? Or somewhere in Europe?
@@silashoffman2089 Yeah I'm in the Uk, how about you?
11:33 the Dune reference did not go unnoticed!
the spice melange!
This is exactly what I was looking for, an in depth explanation of where each piece wants to be and why, thank you!! I haven’t found anything like this anywhere else
You're teaching of openings are some of the best I've seen and love when you upload them, finally after watching I feel I can use them in a game and learn from there, most other chess youtubers leave me scratching my head. except 'Chess vibes'
Please do more thanks
I started playing the queens gambit after this video. Now i love it. So many early checkmates. I love this channel!
Super, dass du schon deutsche Bücher verstehen kannst.
Das ist echt ein tolles Video. Habe viel daraus gelernt! 😊♟
vielen vielen dank!
Chess usually stresses me out this is exactly what i needed
This is so useful because you actually explains what we are trying to achieve and the reasons behind, which is - like you said - a better way to learn than just blindly (trying to) remember moves combination... Thanks !
i can learn openings a lot better when i watch your videos than when i do studies on lichess. i think it's because i just take the time to focus on 1 opening for 50 minutes because it's such a great video :D
Oh my God, thank you! Your video on the Sicilian was excellent, and I've been wanting to learn the Queen's Gambit for a while.
Can already tell I'm gonna be coming back to this video over and over again! Loving the lesson type videos. And congratulations on another sponsorship!!
Can you do more of these? I really enjoy the way you explain the openings. It's not just a blitz of early moves with deep theoretical dives 20 moves in.
another day when I'll sleep well and learn more chess, thankuuuu, u r the best
Been waiting for this one! Can’t wait to learn
So psyched about this! Not only for helping my sleep. But also since your Budapest gambit and Sicilian video has helped me climb in rating (if i get black). Finally I might be able to win as white as well!
Holy chessboard, I've never been this early to a video. Love your content! It helps me play better chess and to sleep. Win-win :)
So interesting, I wanted to learn the queen's gambit and after some small theorry, i straight went to your video!! Really interesting, thank you very much.
i learned chess by myself when i was 7, my first win was against my grandfather who is an expert in checkers, i also won a game against my math teacher when i was 12 but i never practiced or improved this skill until recently that i started to feel interest in the game again but i was always losing in online games, so after watching your videos especially this one of the queen's gambit and understanding better how the board and pieces work, i have won 7 times in a row! thanks :)
i have adhd and i recently picked up chess. your videos help me focus and learn chess while also being very relaxed!! i love your videos so much, keep it up! ❤
I really shouldn't be complaining, as I very much love your videos, but because I'm a friend of perfection, I'll do it anyway: To bring your performance to perfection, how about bringing back the opening letters spelling ASMR (or HSMR for that matter) CHESS which appeared on the squares of the board in some of the less recent videos? I always found that to be a quite satisfying sight.
Apart from that minor nitpick, thank you for your work, couldn't think of a greater mixture of chess and ASMR than what you're doing.
noted!
I agree with him !
ASMR Chess is rapidly developing into one of my favourite you tube channels
Your videos are so relaxing :-) Thank you so much, please keep up the good work!
Love these opening videos, please keep them up!
Recently got really into chess. These videos combines two of my new favorite things :)
Adding this opening to my arsenal! Thank you 🙇🏻♂️
Man everytime im bored I always come here to relax and learning. Keep up the good work, stay safe.❤
This is what I’ve been waiting for!!! 10/10
Oooo I’ve heard of the fabled queen’s gambit. Thank you for teaching us this technique.
Hey ASMR Chess!
Love your opening theories! Thanks to you I‘m now a Sicilian and Budapest player and I‘ve had quite some success!
However, I‘ve never been able to get into the Queens Gambit and I prefer to play e4…
Do you have any opening videos for e4 planned? I‘d love it! Your videos work the best for me personally to learn and also remember the openings!
Thank you for the good asmr and the chess tips♟
Love going to sleep whilst learning chess to your videos please keep the content coming 👌👌🤩
Ive played chess for most of my life and learned the Queens Gambit a long time ago, but I can't NOT watch a video you post about it! great stuff:)
I have been watching you for a while, I started because of the asmr, but I love your passion for chess. Sometimes when I play chess I just feel blind to what is happening around me.
Thanks, I was just entering the highway at a very high speed when I saw your video 🙂 I can now enjoy my 4 favorite things in the world: chess, commenting on UA-cam videos, driving, and sleeping! ♟️📨🚗 😴
please do not sleep behind the wheel
I watched the series and it got me learning how to play the game.
50 mins!? What a blessing before I go to bed :)
Amazing chess mentor u r so clear in details an captivating to.....I just need to apply ur lesson with basic fundamentals an my elo's go up
You’re German pronunciation is really good you sound like a native German speaker
Thanks God there is people like you
Another excellent video, thanks a lot. Please make one about the caro kann
Great video as always.
Yeees! Keep it going man!
You really should more videos with your new fancy chess set! Absolutley love it!
More to come!
Love the Dune Reference. You’re Awesome.
Fear is the Mind killer!!
Always like the content and this is perfeccttt
please do sicilian najdorf too
The rain on the window was perfect 😍😍
Came for the wispering, stayed for the explenations. At first I thought this will be a gimmick, but the pace is good, stories are interesting and sounds are great
Ich liebe deine videos! Ich hore sie jeden abend😃
Thanks I got the babbel discount. Very nice videos, all of them!
HSMR VID LETS GOOO!!! keep up the great work!
This is so relaxing but waay to interesting to fall asleep to, haha. A great way to relax in the afternoon tho! I really like the way you explain the game and I am excited to play more chess with this new knowledge as a beginner 😊
Did he just say ‘control the spice, control the universe’ twice? ♥️
This is what i've been waiting for since your sicilian dragon video. I really hope you will also do open sicilian, king's indian defense, ruy lopez, and d4 kg6 for black (i know that's a lot, even just for this last opening). But, I don't wish you to be hurried. I am willing to wait months.
Really enjoy your style of teaching.... I too play on a DGT board and make vids of the online matches. I really like your Sicilian Defense video and this one's great too!
Your chessboard and pieces are beautiful
Excellent stuff. Can't wait for the "Black Strikes Back" installment.
Thank you, i understand it correctly.
This channel is amazing
Thank you for the rain break 🙂
I honestly think the board sounds/tapping could be louder, as they are in other videos that don't have speaking. It's a great element but I think it gets drowned out too easily. Thanks :)
I would love to see from you a video of how to destroy the Albin counter gambit, keep up the good work anyway💪💪
Wow. Actually I'm only on your channel because of the Chessup (I'm kind of a Tec need) but your German flashed me completely 🤯
I am rated 2000+ and can say this is a great opening, good video.
Perfect time!
I am german and it is a very difficult language. Respekt that you still continue to learn it
Thank you
Thanks for taking this nice and slow and explaining the moves I'm a complete newbie
My pleasure
Great videos!
Coincidentally after watching this video the first match I played was again the queens gambit and thanks to you I knew that I had to challenge it and so I sacrificed my horse and bishop for an easy checkmate 😃
I need your chess set. It's so nice.
Jeg fik en øl; den mest danske ting nogen nogensinde har sagt på UA-cam elsker det
Nice Dune analogy.
Just watched the show cause of this, nice!
Thank you.
Respect! Your pronunciaton is very clean and your explanation helps a lot.
Greetings from germany
So you think you're funny?
Great Video as always… Usually I don’t like sponsoring but you deserve something for your work!
Mach weiter so und viel glück beim Deutsch lernen
danke schon!
Hey Man, Absolutely love the content, perhaps you could let me know the chess board and peices you are using, Keep up the Good Work! Thanks
Great content 👌 👏 👍
Content that inspires and motivates many people. Great sharing. Your passion and emotions will show up in your content. Please keep uploading good videos. A lot of people will watch your video.
Perfect
Freut mich, dass du unsere Sprache lernen möchtest! :) Gutes Video :)
Genuinely, these videos improve my chess more than just about anything I’ve watched. After watching your Sicilian defense video, it has been what I play against 1.e4 and with amazing results because I understand the role of each piece in the position. If ever you have the time to make a video on playing the Spanish as white, I’d greatly appreciate it as it is my main opening for white.
If you are struggling with the Spanish and you're relatively low-intermediate elo I would consider playing the scotch over it. It has too much to learn for such a level as I tried to learn it and got lost in a maze of a million responses from black.
Very good video!
Ich bin positiv überrascht wie gut deine Aussprache ist, denn Deutsch ist eine sehr schwierige Sprache. Weiter so und viel Erfolg :)
omg bro i didnt even know you werent german your accent sounded so german to me - anyway, still addicted to your content!
Thanks!
Thank you very much for the support!
Dich Deutsch sprechen zu hören macht richtig happy :D
Have you done anything on the London system? I really liked the Queen’s Gambit stuff and would love to see something on the London
