As a 5 year old I highly enjoyed this Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response

Can't stop watching in the middle of my day 💚

As a 3-month-old, good golly, this is by far the most inspiring and educational thing I've ever laid my beady eyes on. Learning about the royal game, chess, has truly opened my eyes to the complex world of black and white squares. Who knew that moving little wooden figures could be so enlightening? I can already feel my brain cells multiplying at an exponential rate, ready to take on the world one checkmate at a time.

The 5 years old explaining vids are so good

Is this going to be a series? Because I'm very much up for that! It's silly in a fun way but still interesting and relaxing

I truly wanna see the day a chess world champion gives their thanks to Octavia specifically

Your previous 5YO video was the one to introduce me to your channel! I've always liked chess, but no one in my immediate environment knew how to play, so no one could teach me and I was always to shy to ask other people or to join a club, afraid that I wouldn't understand it quickly enough. But now I am finally starting to understand the game! I love the entertaining, story telling way you explain the games. Thank you!

This series and the silly little stuffed animals actually helped me win a chess game today. Thanks.

These videos knock me THE FUCK out and i LOVE IT! literally have been on loop on the previous "5 year old" video because i keep falling asleep and never see the end. Which HEY! All good, i have insomnia amongst other stuff and childhood trauma so this thing heals me AND makes me sleepy. (Small context is my abuser taught me the basics of chess but like many things the correlation of the abuse ruins many things so it helps so much to be taught like I'm 5 again without the influence and presence of my abuser ❤️)

Absolutely in love with this series, it really just covers every base for me and I’m sure a lot of people as well. Too adult these days? Want chess broken down in a very simplified manner? Feel like you missed out on the simple splendor of childhood? Want something easy on the mind to truly relax?ASMR chess has you covered on all fronts 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for everything you do, it's always such a delightful part of my day to come home after a long day of work and unwind to your videos and it saddens me to see you having a tough time with the algorithm but just know that your fans will always support you no matter what! It's not much, but you deserve every bit of fortune that comes your way 🤗

I don't play chess. I found your channel yesterday from your previous 5 year old chess video. I had never heard of you before. I've also been struggling with PTSD and none of the asmr channels I usually watch have been working for me. Not only are these incredibly comforting and relaxing... you've actually made me interested in chess. If I could just suggest... perhaps you could make an absolute beginner introductory video next? Explaining how pieces move and the rules. Even if it's short, I would really enjoy it. I love following along with these games but as I've never played before... now I want to learn from the beginning.

I go to Oxford University and I am so so horrifically burnt out and tired. I cannot express how nice it is being spoken to like a child. I feel smart for once haha 😅 thank you so much for these videos, I love them!

my dad recently passed away and he was the one who taught me how to play chess when I was little 🤍 these videos have been so relaxing and lovely 💤💘 thank you 🙏🏼

I really like the idea! It's sooo cool! First seconds in and i already feel like a kid... Good job! 😀👍

I used to be in Chess Club way back in middle school, I loved it a lot. Unfortunately, I didn't get many chances to play Chess after that and fell out of it, but since finding your stuff, I've become tempted to buy a Chess board! I love listening while I work. Amazing stuff. :)

I love how gentle and calm you are. This video was genuinely both informative and comforting in a way I can't really explain, except for feeling like a kid again. Oh, and Deborah The Dragon is absolutely fantastic. 🐉🌟 💜

The first video of this series has quickly become one of my favorite asmr videos. You have no idea how excited I was when I saw this new one being posted. I really hope that you continue making videos like these, they are so comforting in a way that I can hardly explain.

these are so amazing. PLEASE make more. they're like, my happy place. i feel all safe and happy, plus i'm learning! i love this so much. please please please. more.

These videos are great!! I've always been interested in chess, but never really managed to get the hang of it. The previous video was so helpful and relaxing and I'm sure this one will be too🥰

i found your channel through the first “explaining like you’re five” video, and i’ve since watched about half of your videos. for some reason, chess strategies never stuck in my head until i heard you explain them. it helps that your voice is incredibly relaxing… i love your channel, and i please hope you don’t stop the videos ❤

Did you say Judit Polgar was 11 when she played this game? Astonishing!

Last video hit 150k views this series is doing very good congratulations on being creative and growinf the channel

Your videos mean a lot. They give me comfort and relaxation after a long day and I listen before sleep or even sometimes whilst commuting. I appreciate your hard work to grow this community and make quality videos 🌟🏆

OMG! DEBRA the DRAGON!!! I’m obsessed 😍

"You can't say metaphorical fire! They're 5! They don't know what metaphorical means!" As a non-5-year-old, I highly respect that.

I have never seen chess explained in such a fun and easy to understand way. Everyone that tried to explain chess to me always made me feel stupid. Weirdly…explaining chess to me like I’m 5 years old doesn’t make me feel stupid, but highlights how fun chess can be. No one EVER talks about the fun of chess. This is the first time I’ve realised…. “Yeah. Chess should be fun…cause it’s a GAME”

I love this series! I subscribed after meeting the fuzzy crew.

this video series has genuinely helped me understand chess theory so well ,, like the adorable metaphors/analogies are so memorable and your videos already break things down in such a coherent, simple, and incredibly informative way ---!!!!

I’ve been watching the other one every night I love it so much! I can’t believe there’s another one! Being talked to so simply, so sweetly, it’s the kind of comfort from actually being 5 years old. Absolutely love these videos and I hope this turns into a regular series!💕

Yay! I was hoping for a part two of explaining like the viewer is a five year old, it's so calming and nice to be able to fall asleep to it but also learn chess🤗

i love these so much. it feels like an actual explanation that makes sense to me. you explain it in a simplified version, but you do not make me feel less than due to my lack of understanding. thank you for this. i’m making some progress in my understanding of chess and i’m relaxing whilst doing so. ❤️❤️❤️😄😄😄🙏🙏🙏

I forgot to say yesterday but great video! I've been watching your videos for a couple days now and already I've unintentionally learned some of the rules of chess. I think the way you explain things in your videos about Judit Polgar have definitely helped me understand.

I REALLY hope this becomes a continuing series, these videos are so relaxing and comforting. Silly as the concept is, its actually quite nice to listen to chess so simplified :)

the first one was so lovely and i'm very pleased to see a sequel! thank you so much for your work, looking forward to getting some rest ❤

I literally was about to rewatch your first explain like you were 5 video to fall asleep and then you posted this one. I’m so excited this one’s focusing on the ideas!

this is slowly healing my inner child❤️ reminds me of my dad talking to me at night, so silly and calm! love these videos

I’ve watched the other video like 5 nights in a row now. I’m not sure why I love these but I just do and I’m so glad you made another. Thank you so much!! :))

Just wanted to say that I started watching your channel because my partner is very very into chess and I’ve always wanted to share that interest with him but I struggle to enjoy chess because I don’t understand it. These videos in this style are not only relaxing but have helped me understand chess so much better and encourage me to play the game more often and get better at the game so me and my partner have something fun to enjoy together ❤ thank you for your amazing work!

ahhh these videos are so wonderful. your voice is so calming - you’re one of the only channels i can put on while doing homework.

This helps dumb chess down for me so much it’s so silly and fun but also relaxing and informative, love your videos as always thank you

Love this concept, glad to see another Iteration 🙌.

I love your channel so much keep up the good work ❤

DUDE I LOVE THESE!! they're super silly, but so comforting :'-) also, i've found myself understanding chess way more now, so that's cool. thank you for everything you do, you're awesome! :D

Love your vids! Your ideas are so unique! Keep it up 😊

This might be one of my favorites by you. Such a great idea with great execution!

I have never had much interest in chess before. I always found it really overwhelming and stressful. But I stumbled on your last explaining chess like your 5 video randomly yesterday and I get it. It may seem silly but you explaining strategies with the toys not only was understandable to me but also helped me realise why people love this game so much. Thanks for the amazing content and I would love to see more like this.

Amazing video, keep up the incredible work!!! I watch this every chance I get in study break.

These are so comforting and tingly!!! As someone who grew up with an absent father and a neglectful mother, this tickles a part of my brain that really needed this

No matter how hard I try, I never stay awake to the end of these chess lessons for 5-year-olds. So relaxing but interesting, as well.

I love these. All of the videos on this channel are relaxing, but these are so disarming. Adorable.

seeing this video on my feed made me so happy I love this series

Love this becoming a series! And as always love seeing more Judit Polgar content! Also, totally fallen in love with the white and black pieces on a white and brown board. Not sure if I can afford the world chess set quite yet but I hope to match your setup one day!

I absolutely love these types of vids ♥️♥️ so relaxing, entertaining and cute!

I really love this 5-year old videos, there's something so relaxing and reassuring about them.

"If you wish to doze off, that is perfectly fine to do." me staying as awake as possible because it would be rude to fall asleep when someone is teaching me something: "yes sir :]"

This is really nice! Did you notice that when the knights kiss you can see a little heart? I like that.

Absolutely love this series❤ So cute i can't sleep without it

YESSSS, this is my favorite series by far lol. I actually learned a lot from the last one and beat one of my friends. When all they had was a bishop on the black spaces I thought of the black and white panda thing and put all of my important pieces on the white ones before checkmating lol

This is so relaxing thank you!

you have no idea how much I enjoy this videos!!!!!

props on the props! and excellent video content as always

i really enjoy the way you tell stories and explain strategies but i don't really understand much of chess, so these "explaining like youre 5 years old" videos are my favourite, would love to see more of them if you're up for it!

yes yes yes asmr chess ❤️ thanks for helping me learn and relax!

This was incredibly creative, i had just discovered your channel and i love your content. You have a new sub!

Oh man! I don't have time for a nap before work but it's gonna be a satisfying video to sleep to after! I can already tell!

I absolutely loved the first video of this (hopefully) series

I love this series so much

Yay! Another video. I look forward to watching before bed.

I have never cared about chess at all, I’ve never even THOUGHT about chess. It seemed way beyond my skill level and understanding, HOWEVER, the first video before this one caught my attention and it’s changed how I view chess! These are so relaxing and I can see your passion through these videos! They are so fun! I’m so invested in following what Judit did! You have inspired me to try to learn this game! I’m going to be terrible, but at least I’ll be prepared 🐧🐙🐼🐉

Your like the mr rogers of chess man! Very relaxing and great at teaching, love your vids!

Siiii me gustan muchos estos videos (de "como si tuvieras 5 años") los encuentro muy agradables y aprendo mejor así 😊

Please continue this series 😭❤️

Big fan of this series like I already play chess but wow.. just super relaxing and sweet🥺 makes my night

man they really slap like nyquil, one day one of these vids will knock me out permanatly

I come to the other one EVERY night and theres now a new one?? God smiles upon us this day LOL

Everyone has a five year old inside of them (unless you're 3. You'll have to wait)... Not taking the queen was epic 🎉

I love this concept 🖤

As silly as these seems i've been enjoying the last one tremendously ! It was both fun, educative and so relaxing ! It also makes me want to try chess again !

It’s like if Mr. Rogers taught chess. Love it!

Why and how does this cure depression and restore faith in humanity somehow AHHAH beautiful work

I love this series

love these

Finally someone is making chess videos catered to my intellectual level lol

Commenting for the algorithm, love your videos. Keep it up❤

Tihihi I have been LONGING for this! Hello Plato and Pandora!

i lov this sm

"Hello little one!" I'm so glad you made another of these!! I'm the happiest 5 year old in the world lol

Love these❤

I have no idea how chess works, and honestly I still don't, but I love your voice so I'm gonna keep coming back :)

I ACTUALLY need to be explained chess like this more PLEASE.

I love this^^ Please do more :>>

I’ve Pavlov’d myself into growing tired when I hear your voice and I made the mistake of clicking on this while at work

I loved the first one, i used it yesterday. If i can't fall asleep i chuckle at the made up scenarios with the plushies 😂

I so love your videos

Your voice is soo relaxing

I love the voices so fun

What opening do you personally think is the best or one of the best❤❤

I enjoy being 5 years old
