- 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
“he started from the bottom, now he’s there” oh ASMR Chess, you rascal
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.
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
"Derek is ambitious. He started from the bottom, now he's here"
Won my sub right there
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
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
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
"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.
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!
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!
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.
Derek is an ambitious guy. So he started from the bottom. And now hes there. But he wants to go further…
Incredible breakdown 🙌🏾😭
If I have a son I would name him: The one-eyed super monster sniper bishop
The narratives you weave around the opening really help me remember and see the purpose behind the line
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
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
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!
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!
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.
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 ❤
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
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 ;)
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.
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!
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!
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.
Great video! I really enjoy the explanation and commentary of these openings and famous games. I would love to see more of them.
absolutely love this! I have never seen this defence described quite so creatively - and it's relaxing at the same time!
GOSH, this video is so perfect!!! your voice, the angle, the lights, the explanations, it´s just perfect!!!
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.
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
I’ve watched this video quite a few times now and honestly I really appreciate your writing and the simplicity of your explanation
honestly asmr chess is my favorite way to study openings. wish you did more videos like these
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 :)
You do great work! I love your videos explaining openings. I really enjoyed your Queen's Gambit/Budapest Gambit video, and now the Sicilian-Dragon is great. Keep them coming! They are so relaxing and informative, I watch when preparing for a game and I listen to relax and go to sleep.
ASMR + actually really nice intros to chess strategy / openings = pure gold! More please!
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!
By far the best depiction of the Sicilian I have ever seen. Bloody brilliant.
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
Never learned so much chess in one video before. Thanks.
Great video! I love the way you explain the thinking behind the book moves.
I'm very new to chess and these videos are brilliant! The asmr is great too, I've been watching each night for the past couple weeks. Thanks for all the content
I really enjoyed your video. I'm new to Chess and beginning to try to study and learn more about the game, openings, tactics, and the like. I like how you explain things and it's easy to remember because of your descriptions and the names you give things, like two eyed bishop. Thank you for your video!
It's currently raining where I live and this is the perfect video to accompany it. Ultimate relaxation.
The humor is not lost on me. Keep these videos coming please! Thank you for this relaxing, funny, open formation information.
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.
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…
The irony of saying things like "he's going to blow himself up" or "kamikaze pilot" in an asmr video is just too good 😂😂
This is great, immediately subscribed. Please more openings like this, loved Charlie.
I would LOVE a video on the London system. Your videos are relaxing and it makes the information sink in a whole lot better.
Thank you a million times over. I finally understand the big idea and i've been on tear.
Crush them! ♟️💪♟️
clicking the bell and getting notifications asap for this channel seriously make life so great. thanks for another wonderful upload !
I have become a massive fan of this charannel! All the videos that you post are extremely high quality. Loved the way you explained this opening and key concepts. Would love to see more of such openings like Caro Kann, Slav etc
more opening videos will come in the future!
I would love more video’s like this! Great explanation and relaxing as well.
Look forward to watching more of your video's... so revealing, relaxing and original! LOVE IT!
Ok these are my two favorite UA-cam genres what a blessing this channel is
Thank you so much for your excellent teaching videos specifically with real pieces and clear and interesting voice 😊
I was looking for exactly this type of content, really glad there's someone out there to fill the need. Great video, love it. You could consider tilting the camera up a bit, giving us a more overhead view of the board (makes it a bit easier for noobs like me to see and imagine moves)
Amazing! Would love to see more openings in this format. Thumbs up!! 👍🙂
finally, my prayers have been answered! great vid, i love your tutorials, now i’m hungry for more openings
havnt watched one of your videos in a long long time. Glad to see that you are still making amazing chess lessons!!!
Bro this was very good. Never expect one of the best opening tutorial I’ve ever watched is in an asmr chess channel. Well done. Thing is, you were very instructive in the strategies of the opening. You didn’t just glance over the positions.
Please more openings! Ur videos are really great. And this sicilian explanation one of the best ive seen
Love the transitions at the beginning :)
The more I watch your video the more i fall in love with chess
that makes me so happy!
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 UA-cam in my opinion. Keep up the great work!
thanks a lot man!
Commentary is genius - had me in stitches. Well played sir.
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 loved this video I learned so much. I am a new player and listening to you explain each pieces duties and reason for going where they go was awesome information. Thank you I really hope there are more videos like this for each type of openings
there will be more opening videos, although not for eah type of opening as there is like 10.000 openings and I can only really make videos about the openings I have some experience with.
100% would love to see more videos like this. Great job
Is one of the best videomin YT...
Opening explain is just amazing... and relaxing effect is also very intense...
I couldn’t hope for a better video topic ! Amazing content
I really enjoyed this! Would love more content like this
More to come!
really love your video's! Slowly learning every opening solely by watching you!
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. :)
Finally, my 2 favorite things in this world combined, ASMR, and Chess, this is life
Yay! I’m so happy to see this! So helpful and soooo relaxing :)
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 :)
This is such a great channel!!! How did I not find this earlier. Instant subscribe
Amazing chess tutorial + ASMR ! Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed 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.
I LOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAINED THE DRAGON! I AM A BEGINNER AND LEARNED THE MOVES SOMETIME AGO BUT-NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD IT THE WAY YOU EXPLAINED IT, THANKS! BTW...YOU HAVE MADE ME A SUBSCRIBER OF YOUR CHANNEL, LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU TEACHING ME MORE!
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
Best explanation of Sicilian dragon I've come across! Thank you!
what a fun way of explaining the opening, i felt like a kid being read a story! great stuff.
It was almost sounding like a bedtime story, I'll adopt this method to teach my siblings. Thanks ASMR
You are my favorite UA-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 UA-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!
Love it!! I really needed motivation to learn the dragon variation
That ending game explanation blew my mind. Genius.
Loving the opening tutorials! Thanks for a great video
I really like your storytelling when talking about the different pieces‘ roles
That’s birds 😂
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.
