    Hi and thanks for hanging out in the comments! This video is a bit of an experiment. Instead of showing you a million lines I'm focusing more on giving you the gist of the strategy and key moves/themes/patterns that you will find useful in practice. I'm really happy to have Brilliant as a sponsor for this video - I think it is a perfect fit for the channel tbh! Go to brilliant.org/asmrchess to get a 30-day free trial + the first 200 people will get 20% off their annual subscription.
    I'm also experimenting with chapters. I'm really curious to know how it works (or doesn't work) for you and if you have any tips for improvement.
    Thanks for watching, listening, reading and for being part of chess!

      Quick question at 23:22 would Bishop to f4 be a guaranteed queen, if queen goes c5, a1rook goes to c1. Wouldn't that win the piece or am I missing something?

      What annoys me is the very good and relaxing asmr that slows down the learning of these quality openings 😉

    "Rook is called "Cannon" in Russian" isn't correct, but at the same time isn't entirely incorrect in a very curious way.
    At least since the late 19th century, a Rook in Russian is called Ladya (Ладья). The word means a ship similar to a Scandinavian longship.
    But, an older and obsolete name for a Rook was Tura (Тура). Which is an outdated word for a siege tower. Given how a classical Rook looks - makes sense.
    However, for a brief period (about 30 years in the early 16th century) the word "Tura" in Old Russian meant "Artillery". Not "cannon" but the entire artillery force used, for example, in a siege, or the entire artillery branch of the army.

    i love the Smith-Morra and it's the first opening I learned when i began actually studying chess because the person I played the most against loved the sicilian. It's always great to see it getting some love. It's really defined my style of play which is to be aggressive, make sacrifices, and keep pressure on the opponent. solid chess is good chess, but imo theory and defense are no substitute for wagering a pawn for development or a piece for position. also, you have a very pleasant voice. thanks for the video!

    Hi, thank you so much for the quality chess content. At the expense of Rook's name in Russian the most popular is "Lad'a (Ladia)", an Old Russian sailing vessel, or "Tura" (old Russian word for basically tower of castle, as for me I heard it only once)

    0:35 - I know he's kinda just saying funny sounding stuff but the Sicilian Sveshnikov, Novosibirsk variation is, depending on who you ask, in fact denoted by precisely 9. Bxf6, or denoted by the logical followup 9...gxf6 10. Nd5 Bg7, though 10...f5 is more fashionable. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 6. Ndb5 d6 7. Bg5 a6 8. Na3 b5 9. Bxf6

    so @24:06 say the rook was to slide under the knight attacking it and knight went where rook just was couldn't rook just slide back and take? or if knight went to the legal move next to other knight couldn't pawn take? Could this be a effective counter ASMRChess?:)
