This is an ASMR video. I narrate the game in calm manner, sometimes dropping my voice to a whisper. I gently tap the chessboard while slowly explaining the moves and the history of the game.
The Game of the Century is a chess game that was won by the 13-year-old future world champion Bobby Fischer against Donald Byrne in the Rosenwald Memorial Tournament at the Marshall Chess Club in New York City on October 17, 1956. In the video I say that the game was played in the US championship, which is incorrect. In Chess Review, Hans Kmoch dubbed it "The Game of the Century" and wrote: "The following game, a stunning masterpiece of combination play performed by a boy of 13 against a formidable opponent, matches the finest on record in the history of chess prodigies."

7. Qxc4 c6 8. e4 Nbd7 9. Rd1 Nb6 10. Qc5 Bg4 11. Bg5 {11. Be2
followed by 12. O-O would have been more prudent. The bishop
move played allows a sudden crescendo of tactical points to be
uncovered by Fischer. -- Wade} Na4 {!} 12. Qa3 {On 12. Nxa4
Nxe4 and White faces considerable difficulties.} Nxc3 {At
first glance, one might think that this move only helps White
create a stronger pawn center; however, Fischer's plan is
quite the opposite. By eliminating the Knight on c3, it
becomes possible to sacrifice the exchange via Nxe4 and smash
White's center, while the King remains trapped in the center.}

this is the game of the century, then 17...Be6!! must be the
counter of the century. Fischer offers his queen in exchange
for a fierce attack with his minor pieces. Declining this
offer is not so easy: 18. Bxe6 leads to a 'Philidor Mate'

Going through a loss in the family at the moment, this made me smile to see pop up in my sub box. Thank you for the content i'll be watching this tonight.
Stay strong brother!
I’m sorry for your loss bro. Sending love to you and your family members
Daaaaaaaaaaaady
Prayers bro🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss❤️
I didn’t even care about chess before this channel and now I play and study regularly.
This was a fascinating game in how it deviated from the common wisdom of center control. Not as magical as the Tal games which are my favorites, but I would like to see more.
sameeee!!! even got me studying openings 😂
I was just lamenting that you hadn’t posted in a while. Yet here we are, just an hour after that thought.
It was dreadful
Nice, a Bobby Fischer game. Been loving your content.
I find that typically it's difficult for me to learn from other UA-cam videos. But, because of your engaging and yet in-depth narration style, I find it so much easier to study. In fact, I'm able to memorize the games you cover because I can remember the "stories" behind the moves! Out of all my studying, you've helped the most.
That is, if I'm able keep my eyes open after the first few minutes...
Glad it was helpful!
i would like this comment but it's at 69 likes

Def like relaxed learning. My favorite chess teacher on UA-cam now too. And falling asleep from being too relaxed is true.
Asmr is a mysterious thing, here I am listening to a historic chess game
Not to take away the credit from ASMR Chess, the storytelling is on another level
This has become my favorite channel in UA-cam. I watch this videos at least twice, one for sleep and one to actually learn chess. Now I sleep better and I can finally defeat my dad on chess. The perfect definition of a win-win situation.
23:32 HE SAID THE THING
You can guess how captivating the game will be just by reading the title
As someone new to chess, I find these chess asmr videos to be easier to study. Rather than the usual fast paced explanations from most other people.
Thank you for the Vid!
Incredible game, brilliantly described. I am a relatively weak player, but normally I can at least see the brilliance of good moves in most grandmaster games, even if I don't find them myself; but in this game, the point of Fischer's moves remains a mystery to me until it's explained. A wonderful example of the beauty of chess, and an equally wonderful example of how to add character and intrigue to a narration of a chess game.
This is the best channel for chess analysis. Other channels just rush the moves and don't see the beauty of it. I have watched this video at least 4 times. Great job. Thank you.
23:32 Eric would be proud
I was looking for this comment
When the world needed him the most...he returned
Me: Having my eyes closed and I am imagining that I am a grown man named Donald 😌
*A teenage boy comes to the table and says his name is Bobby*
Me: 😳
Haha exactly what I was going for!
I would love more Bobby Fischer games, but honestly every single video where you go over any historical game is amazing, thanks for your work!
Shout out Eric Rosen on the “oh no my queen!” Nice video. Love your stuff
I just noticed that you are almost nearing 50K subs. Its been only 2 months since reaching 40k, so the channel is still growing strong!
By the way, I really like this angle of the board. Feels like it has a bit of a fish-eye effect. Makes everything very easy to see
yes it is crazy. Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying out a 14mm lense that I really like so far.
This game is outstanding! Fascinating play by both players and such clever moves from Bobby!
Literally analyzing any game of chess history is great content !!!
I live for these uploads. Thanks man.
Missed you
You and your videos single handedly got me addicted to chess.
Man your channel is awesome. Really, it is so useful for improving my chess and yet so relaxing at the end of the day to lay in bed with my laptop and watch your videos. I'm an old time Magic player too, so that's a bonus!
ah a hellow MtG nerd! Thanks for your comment!
I joined chess club in 3rd grade and about 15 years later I’m getting back into the game. I love watching these and learning the history and how to play!
Ooh! I love the warm up intro! I’m invested in seeing this poor kid from Brooklyn step out into the chess spotlight.
I am very happy because u posted a new video, my fav youtuber.
Finally a new episode. Hopefully I will not fall asleep.
By far the best chess content on UA-cam. This video is a work of art, smoothly and calmly explaining this masterpiece of a chess game. What else do you need? I JUST LOVED IT!
thanks man and good luck with your channel! I can't understand your language very well but your energy is great :)
You gotta upload more!!! I've been rewatching your most recent videos for so long now.
I don't even watch your videos to sleep they are too intriguing I love your videos on a relaxing evening like this one. Thanks for the game
I come back here incredibly often thank you for this:)
Your content is insane, we need more of this !
That's the notification I've been waiting for. My dose of happyness !
What a great game! Thank you so much for your content, I keep learning and relaxing! Your storytelling is also a huge bonus!
I love this channel so much, got me into both ASMR as well as Chess, and while I’m pretty average at best it’s great to hear about the greats
Best asmr content on UA-cam, really love these. So cool to learn about chess champions from all over the world, I especially like the ones with a little music in the beginning/intro. Keep up the great work 👍🏼
I really enjoy these walkthroughs from these GM games. Going through all the variations that you could play and why they don't work is really educational and fun. Keep up the great work !
never been waiting for anything more than im waiting for your videos. love them man. keep up the content ❤️
Great video! Always love your contextual narrations and storytelling in these videos. You are truly one of a kind🤙🏼
Love the introductions you do before the games, then again everything about your content is amazing!
Thank you for doing these. Helps me with my sleep every single night. 😊
You upload now after I had my coffee lol? I had to watch something with it so I rewatched the immortal game remastered 😂 Even old videos are still enjoyable.
Fisher vs. Spasky games would be an excellent follow up! Thanks for the amazing video friend.
Great suggestion!
All of your content has been absolutely solid lately, keep it up! 😁
As far as I'm concerned, this is simply the best chess video ever. Pure poetry
You make me win alot of chess games, thank you !!
Imagine actually playing chess
You literally have the best voice in asmr and it's not even close. Plus I love chess lol
Absolutely love the historical games!
This is amazing❤ love your videos
that bishop e6 move was completely devastatin...epic...thx for ya content...
I've gotten so used to listening to chess asmr that any other form of chess videos feels off
Woooooo new ASMR Chess historical game video - this day just went from 0 to 100
I was hopping to find a new video from you tonight, thank you very much I m so happy to find it ! :)
Can you make a video on Bobby's playstyle and how it was different than other GMs?
YES, a Bobby Fischer game!
Hey there, I'm watching your videos for a few weeks now and I have to say they are great. I can feel that you really are fascinated by the things you are talking about and you transport them in an artful and interesting way. From the nice chessboard you have to the way you recount the matches. With you I started watching old chessmatches. The best of luck for you from Southern Germany.
I would like to know how long you are playing chess?
thank you for your kind comment. I've always known how to play. I think I've been playing "seriously" for about 10 years.
Yes! Your back!
wao thia asmr chess videos are awesome, not only make me relaxed but also I'm learning chess strategy. love it really cool stuff
Yay a new video :)
I’ve been checking every day for over a week!
Thank you for the video! I hope you are doing well. I remember a while back in a video you sounded like you were struggling during COVID so I hope things are going good!
Yes! Thank you! Life is much better now.
This is the youtube channel of the century
Another wonderful video! I LOVE STORY TIME SO MUCH!!!!
Bought his book recently to learn how to play
Such a great job on these! Thanks for your posts
Glad you like them!
I saw you when you were at 10k subs barely and now you’re at 48k.
Great job dude i bet your gonna get 100k subs at the end of the year
Hope so! It is a bit of a stretch with the current growth rate but it is possible!!
"Fidel Castro also played chess, Cuba is a proud chess country" The CIA's 639th attempt on Fidel's life: explosive chess pieces
loved the cuba anecdote
You have the perfect voice for asmr
Here we go again... looking forward to another restful night :)
I refuse to learn chess moves from anyone but you (great video)😁
Its interesting how the players just transposed from one opening to another so many times I'm curious if they did it on purpose, trying to find a blindspot in a theoretical battleground,
Or perhaps they simply played moves which gave them positions they were familiar with and were confident in their abilities playing?
I wish I could ask what went through their mind as the game happened along every twist and turn. Every game of chess is a story in some way and I think some games (like this one) show it extremely well.
Thank you for the video! Much love ❤
Brilliant content. Keep it up.
Great content as always 🥂
Top game. Top narration. Top video. More please :)
More to come!
43 minutes?! JACKPOT
Nice classic games are the best with your voice :)
"Oh no my queen!" 23:32 nice
My day has been made.
Welcome back legend
Best ASMRtist!!
lovely stuff as always
I always thought it was interesting that Bobby Fischer died when he was 64, the same number of squares on a chess board
Day One (for real this time) of asking ASMR Chess for a soft whispers only video 🤫
Early again to learn and enjoy asmr :)
Terrific video. Wesley So considers Bobby the greatest chess player. I heard him say that in a video. That's contrasted to what Magnus said when he wasn't as impressed with Bobby's game.
good idea!
Awesome video!
Lets go, i would like more of Bobby
Hey I just want to say this shit absolutely slaps
Amazing vid 🙏🏻
Donald was so nice letting Bobby mate him on the board 😩
Yay!
It took me 2 weeks to finish this video 😴😪
i would absolutely love some more capa games, or if you are going to do nsome recent games dubov is a really exciting player to watch, love your content as always mr Asmr Chess.
Awesome video and choice of game dude. I appreciate the hard work you put into these!
Do you have notes off-screen to help you while you do them?
I thought it was maybe knight B1 :-( Need to get back into chess I've forgotten a lot.
thanks man. No I don't write scripts for these. I wrote some notes for "The Chess Move that made World History" but that was my only try at a script so far. I want to have tighter scripts for these in the future but I'm still finding out what the best way is.
94% accuracy really doesn't mean squat. Making all the right defensive, waiting, and obvious moves after a terrible blunder didn't equate to 94% accuracy it equated to 0-1.
Every time I watch your intro I consider the pros and cons of changing your username to HSMR
what have you come up with so far?
@@ASMRChess well I figure it’s a nice letter pun, but I also wonder if it would be confusing, and your current username is already clean. I just always think it would be a funny play on letters lol
35:03 cerrado!
I know you kinda said it in the intro but a cool name for you would be AchesSMR (the capitalized letter spell out asmr)
awesome video! where did you get that beautiful board?
