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.}
13. bxc3 Nxe4 {The natural continuation of Black's plan.}
14. Bxe7 Qb6 15. Bc4 Nxc3 16. Bc5 Rfe8+ 17. Kf1 Be6 {!! If
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'
(smothered mate) with ...Qb5+ 19. Kg1 Ne2+ 20. Kf1 Ng3+

king is repeatedly revealed to checks, is sometimes called a

and pawn of the black camp is defended. The white queen has
nothing to do.} 33. h4 h5 34. Ne5 Kg7 35. Kg1 Bc5+ 36. Kf1

Nice, a Bobby Fischer game. Been loving your content.
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.

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
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
I find that typically it's difficult for me to learn from other KZread 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...

Def like relaxed learning. My favorite chess teacher on KZread now too. And falling asleep from being too relaxed is true.
This has become my favorite channel in KZread. 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
23:32 Eric would be proud

I was looking for this comment
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!
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.
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.
When the world needed him the most...he returned
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!
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: 😳

Shout out Eric Rosen on the “oh no my queen!” Nice video. Love your stuff
Literally analyzing any game of chess history is great content !!!
This game is outstanding! Fascinating play by both players and such clever moves from Bobby!
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

Great video! Always love your contextual narrations and storytelling in these videos. You are truly one of a kind🤙🏼
I live for these uploads. Thanks man.
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!
Best asmr content on KZread, 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 👍🏼
You and your videos single handedly got me addicted to chess.
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 !
Your content is insane, we need more of this !
What a great game! Thank you so much for your content, I keep learning and relaxing! Your storytelling is also a huge bonus!
Finally a new episode. Hopefully I will not fall asleep.
never been waiting for anything more than im waiting for your videos. love them man. keep up the content ❤️
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!

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?

Brilliant content. Keep it up.
Can you make a video on Bobby's playstyle and how it was different than other GMs?
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!

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.

awesome video! where did you get that beautiful board?
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.
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 ❤
Here we go again... looking forward to another restful night :)
"Oh no my queen!" 23:32 nice
So damn good
Lets go, i would like more of Bobby
Yay!
Chess is deeply deep ❤️
thx for making my day!!
43 minutes?! JACKPOT
35:03 cerrado!
Hey I just want to say this shit absolutely slaps
EPIC GAME THO
Donald was so nice letting Bobby mate him on the board 😩
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.

the best way to get me to post more often is to support the channel on patreon.com/asmrchess I takes a lot of time to make these videos and I have a job to maintain. The more money I get through patreon the more time I can take off to make videos.
