Aronian vs. Anand, Tata Steel 2013 is one of the most beauitful and amazing games ever played, and it naturally fits in my series on the immortal games.
Please note that this is an ASMR video and is made to relax your mind and help you drift off to sleep while you slowly get lost in the beautiful chess universe.

50 mins well spent ! Thank you for this storytelling + analysis 🙂
34:33 If white moved there dark squares bishop to d2 and then played pawn takes bishop then I think they would be fine because the rook is cleared, but unfortunately he can’t have that extra move
24 moves spanning 50 minutes sounds pretty crazy right? In the first three minutes of the video, each side played 15 moves each, leaving the remains 9 moves for each side spanning over 45 minutes. Such brilliance in so little moves
Didn’t even know chess came from India because of how western it is. Long time subscriber of u, pretty unique asmr with advice. Sounds like a divine scene from a movie like the Last Samurai when I listen to u. Truly phonetically fantastic ♟♟♟♟
I really appreciated hearing you say “he or she or they.”
i wonder how can i buy this model’s chess set.
please give me model’s name or site to buy it
I think you will end up with a million subscribers in the not to distant future if you keep grindin man. Amazing content and your very knowledgeable! Keep up the great work! We appreciate you 🙂
Could you please do the Caro-Kann defense next?

Seriously the best chess video I have ever watched. What an amazing game and an amazing breakdown. Love the channel man
I waited so hard for this new video it’s not even funny 😂😂😂
Only legendary men know that he says “a chess m r” not “a s m r”
Question: I cannot find the online game that you use could you please tell me the name of it. Keep up the great work and have a good time
Almost at 50K SUBS!!! Let’s goooo
I started writing this comment saying how much I appreciate the rain sounds when I hear you say “Can we take a moment to appreciate the rain sounds?” Life is beautiful.
42:40 Why not Nxd6?
What a knockout combination! (And by that I mean I fell asleep :D)
Anand really went: Oh no! All my pieces are hanging!!
Anyways…. CHECK MATE
the rain absolutely completes this, i love your videos and always get the best sleep the days you post 🙂
Every now and again you play games against subscribers, no? How can I participate?
Best chess video till date… hats off🙌🙌
beautiful
Where did you buy this board?
Can u do a video about chess openings please
Question, what chess board do you have in this video? I have but a novelty chess board with unrecognizable pieces, and I’m looking to get a solid chess board, and the one you use looks great!
Why ur voice is like thire
That
50k we see you 😉
The ref of the chessboard pls ?
What ever happened to Arnaq by the way?
many will listen to this for the pleasent ASMR (and the lovely indoor sound of rain) but the statements between around 21:00 – 23:00 can be key to improve as chess player (havent watched past yet)
The rain makes it so much better
You are my favorite content creator on youtube and it honestly isn't even close. Please keep doing this!
"Life is beautiful" 🌧 yes, it is! And we just need to remember to appreciate that which brings value to our lives.
Heavy rain + chess + us = life is great
The chess analysis is great, but HIS VOICE… wtf?! This is heaven for my ears!
This game is just so cool that I came back to watch it again.
35:54
I prefer this setup rather the one that has electronic board
This is the best channel I've come across in a long time. Bravo Sir!
Man I can't get over your channel… AMAZING…
h3 is the best move, not f4
be2 is not good. d takes c5 is much better.
Where did you buy your chess set?
Hey. I'd just like to throw a suggestion for more classic games and gambits/openings/defenses. I find I think about them before bed and occasionally dream about them. Lol
🔥🔥🔥
I love the Slav defence
That intro was just sick
23:20 it can also be met with pawn eats queen. ??
Why wouldn’t you just check mate after the moves d4-d5-c3-c6, then queen to a4
I love when you give backstory and anecdotes about the players in question, I find it makes the video far more personal and engrossing than just talking about the chess moves solely. I only wish there was more of it!
