CAUTION: This Rapid chess video may put you to sleep #1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- This is the first time I've competed in an Hourly Rapid Arena chess tournament while only recording locally(not during a livestream). The time controls for this 1 hour and 57 minute event is 10 minutes per player without any increment. For many years now, I continually receive comments about my voice and how it has been an aid with sleep. With a local record, I tend to speak softer when conveying my train of thought; I guess speaking to myself alone makes for this change. Recently I was curious to know what percent of viewers have fallen asleep while watching/listening to one of my videos: / 1450717514049142784 . Anyhow, I think this lengthier video of a slower than usual time control coupled with a softer voice may give you about a 71% chance of falling asleep. 😴 On a more serious note, I hope that at the end of the day you'll be like the Twitter follower who said: "Rather than staring at social media on my bed, I prefer to watch one or two educational videos from your RUclips channel. Either I will learn something or I fall asleep because of your soothing voice. Win-win."
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

Fun fact: I’ve fallen asleep before when editing the audio to one of my videos.
Have you ever fallen asleep while watching/listening to one of my videos?
I hope this one is helpful to your chess, if you can stay awake for it. 😊
I’ve shared more info in the video’s description.
I used to fall asleep to your tournament playlist like every night for over a year. I'm pretty sure I've seen every single video on your channel like that. It's not that you're boring, it's just that your voice is soothing lol. I've also gained a lot in strength inspired by your play-style, analysis, and in-game commentary. Oh, and your tutorials on end games helped me tie games against stronger players otb. So it's not just sleep-aid xd
i stoped watching your videos because i didnt get to the middle of it haha
I fall asleep to your videos, yes. I also think in your voice while playing.
I watched your video over and over again because I've always fallen asleep midway, usually I need 3-5 night to finish it.. The statistics is true Jerry!
Thats one reason I keep commenting for more vids. To learn. And to sleep. Thanks again, Jerry.
For years it has been this way: I lay down, put Jerry's bullet videos on random, watch about 20-40 min and fall sleep. 💤 Thank you Jerry (from someone who always had problems sleeping)
Its kinda funny and weird to be honest. But im glad im not the only one who found this helpfull to my problems with falling asleep. And even if i cant sleep, i learn about chess. I found it as a win-win
I do the same exact thing
That fact that his bullet videos can put u to sleep is amazing, how calm can ge get?
Honestly it’s asmr
And if you can pay attention, educational.
It is the same for me !
i use your videos to fall asleep and i dont mean that as disrespect.
you have such a calm voice, i rather listen to you than turning on the tv.
So Jerry, I'm in the navy and just got off a deployment. With youtube premium I downloaded a bunch of your videos and would watch them on the ship at bed time. The helped keep me sane, so thanks a lot :)
Jerry being active lately is a bliss
Thank you for watching. :)
I have always struggled to fall asleep. Even if I am really tired and don't get enough sleep I just stay awake against my will. However, watching your videos takes me away. I get engulfed in the gameplay, the tactics, and your voice is so soothing. It allows me to not think of anything else than getting lost in the board. I would watch 10 minutes of your 3-hour long bullet tournaments before drifting into my sweet slumber. I remember I would get sad from finishing a 12 hour night shift because I had already finished your latest video and there wasn't anything new to help me sleep. Funny that you brought this up because I thought I was the only one. So on behalf of the sleep troubled community, thank you!
Jerry, I fall asleep to your videos every night. Your voice is so soothing and I’m bad at chess. 1200 at best. Thanks for content brother.
We love you, Jerry - you're the best!
Jerry: Uses all of his time, wins
Opponent: Blitzes the opening and middle game, loses
I love these videos that you are not streaming and put them on youtube. It feels sneaky :) Thanks for your wonderful content Jerry. You made me a better player.
For the past 2 years I have been a regular viewer of your videos. I've even went back and watched pretty much all of your videos, especially the beginner series and your standard series. I would say I watch your videos 50% for education and 50% for relaxation and to help me sleep. You have a very calming demeanour and you seem like a really nice person. Anyway thank you Jerry and hope you're well. (From Scotland)
I purposely listen to your videos when trying to fall asleep (then rewatch when awake)
I'll be honest , I always watch Jerry to fall asleep. I firmly believe he's the sandman
It's ASMR chess. You watch into blissful oblivion.
When I'm really desperate I sometimes use your videos to put my baby daughter to sleep! 🙃 Thanks for the quality chess streaming, love this time format.
I think that using chess videos on small children together will nutrients can form the brain to create a chess talant , in the way u can learn a lot of languages in very early age "for free"
Can we please get some chessnetwork branded pajamas or fluffy socks 100% would buy
Jerry! I love listening to your videos to fall asleep. The bullet chess is too hectic and interesting to allow me to just fall asleep but this is perfect! I also enjoy falling asleep to Eric Rosen.
I sometimes have a lot of trouble falling asleep, so I mean nothing negative when I say I've been able to fall asleep watching Jerry's videos. I've also fallen asleep plenty of times watching Eric Rosen. It's just the right balance between "interesting enough to take my mind off everything else" and "calm enough to not wake me up when I finally nod off".
dont threaten me with a good time
maybe some people would take "i fall asleep watching your videos" as an insult. I hope you don't ever take it that way! it shows that your viewers feel relaxed and comfortable watching your content. Also that the sleepy viewers want to spend even the very last minute of their day listening to you. I think it should be taken as a compliment!
All good and sleepy until Jerry screams “OH NO IM MATED!!!! ANTON SQUARED ME!”
Not even 17 fishing poles could make up for that.
My Bob Ross of chess, thank you Jerry!
Well put!😊
That's some good praise.
"Let's have some fun!"
Yes, join the sleepy chess video enthusiasts! My whole channel is built around the this concept and since I've been watching ChessNetwork on and off for 12+ years I am SO HAPPY to see you make a video like this!
How is this comment 6 hours old but im the first like?
people sleeping on the comment ;)
ASMR I like your videos too. And Jerry. I enjoy that you men don't hoop and scream and insult newbies.
watching Jerry in a winning position with a minute left: oh yeah, he's got this.
me in a winning position with a minute left: crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap
I watch your videos to fall asleep almost every day and have been for years. Thanks for all the great videos!
I exclusively fall asleep to chessnetwork
I literally learned the game by watching videos to fall asleep. It's been 5+ years of watching a bit of chess most nights before falling asleep.
I knew I wasn’t the only one.
Been watching your videoes for years and almost every time I get my mind off work and fall into sleep after 15-20 minutes.
Simply briliant, thank you Jerry.
For a while, when i was trying to learn chess and became "okay" at it, i'd watch your videos in the evening just to not be alone with my thoughts and i have fallen asleep to you analysing bobby fisher's games so many times. Your voice reminds me of better times in my life than now and it is worth a lot to me to have something constant, when time itself feels like it's running past me at lightning speed.
I love your calmness and insight when youre playing, and i love the sudden challenges that you throw in with an unexpexted "what would you play in this position" when im getting too comfortable just watching. Please keep going
BRO I SLEEP WITH YOUR VIDEOS EVERY NIGHT SINCE YEARS AGO. ESPECIALLY THE MAGNUS CARLSEN VIDEOS IN THE 1 MINUTE TOURNAMENTS. I WISH U DO MORE LIKE THOSE VID. LONG STREAMS. BOB ROSS AND YOU THE BEST VOICES IN RUclips.
Your voice is so calm that I always fall asleep with it…. 😅
What's your rating?
As a worker, father and husband, your videos are one of the few moments during the day I can focus completely in my things. Unluckily this happens too late. It's incredibly cool to see how you're experiencing that sleeping viewers thing as a nice thing.
It'd be cool to know more from you sometime. I've the sensation that I know you from years and I know nothing about you.
I just came here to say...
About 10 years ago or so I was watching your stream and I got timed out for saying the word "damn" in the chat. It shocked me at the time, but after that made a big impression on my life, as i'm a very impressionable person. I no longer used the word for YEARS. Using darn in replace of it.
I started dating someone a few months ago and very early on they used the word, something along the lines of "I love the damn dog" talking about a friends dog. Well once again I was impressionable. I'm easily influenced. And I considered why I didn't ever say it, and remembered back to the time out incident.
I started saying it again, and it felt kind of fun, kind of unruly. But it shouldn't have.
I told my orthodox religious goody goody sister and mum the story. They were perplexed. And yes as was I at the time. But the time out incident made the word seem bad to me over the next 10 years. But it's not a bad word. The time out incident made it bad in my eyes but it's just not.
So yeah, just came here to say that after 10 years I'm finally saying damn again. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it!
Lots of people think that what they do or say are not bad things. Most people actually, I'd say. Self-justification is a powerful thing, however erroneous it may be.
@@Etheralking In this instance I believed that what I did was bad. At first I was shocked and scoffed at the idea anyone could consider saying damn as being an offence. But the experience influenced me for years to stop saying it
@@Etheralking Self-justification doesn't seem to apply here though.
Well shit, that's one fucking hell of a damn story. Good on you bro.
Lol
The only cure for my insomnia that I've found! Btw Jerry, it's not your chess or your amazing commentary... It's your calm and soothing voice that does the trick for me.
your voice is so calming
Looks like I'm not the only one who likes to watch your vids before bed :). Love the content, keep it up!
Thank you
I love how you are embracing the way how people are using your content. For many it would have been hard pill to swallow.
Thanks a ton for all the videos. I deal with some sort of insomnia and your videos put me to sleep like a baby. I watch as much as I can, thoroughly enjoying them while I'm awake, and rewatch what I've fallen asleep for the very next morning. Please keep doing what you're doing!
Can't blame people for falling asleep. You have a very soothing voice.
I've actually played this video several times, but have never seen it to the end as I always fall asleep while watching it. Great job! :D
HAHAHA SAME
I had a good laugh at this. I usually only watch these videos late at night, or in the early morning on days off. There is no doubt Jerry’s cadence will lull you to sleep if you are tired. I have found myself drifting off man times. I even noticed that when I turn it off to go to sleep, inactaulky start to walk up again.
Jerry, consider another RUclips channel for those with insomnia or seeking a quicker entry to sleep. You have a real gift!
lol, I used to teach in a nice dark, quiet, calm and comfy planetarium. I didn't realize until years after the fact that when someone said, "You have such a soothing voice" what they really meant was, "I just took a twenty five minute nap."
Jerry going ham with these rapid uploads. I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.
love falling Asleep to your videos, jerry; I even love watching them while awake too!
I don't know how that first opponent let you win that first game on time... truly shocking.
No doubt about it... 😀
Honestly, it is because most of videos are really nice, pleasant and calm.
Ive watched this for two nights in a row and I always fall asleep before the second game finishes. I love it
I habe sleep problems until i stumbled upon your videos. Thank you jerry and your beautiful calm voice
I'd love to see more videos of this style (locally recorded arenas). If they're easy to make, make more please :)
It's the perfect blend of engaging enough to allow your mind to be distracted from itself, while also not being alarming in any way that may prevent the snooze from taking effect.
thank you for this video i had an exam and this video helped me fall asleep the night before
For real tho?
@@westcoast9387 yes lol !!
I am planning on falling asleep to this one
Literally took the best nap of my life just now watching this.
I actually love going to sleep to you analysis videos. For months i used to put your videos on with my headset to sleep. Thank you for all you do
I was watching you as a sleep aid before I even got into chess. You're part of the reason I became addicted to the game almost 4 years ago.
I only use your old videos as sleep aid now because you're so fun to watch conscious.
I've been falling asleep to your videos for about 5 years now. Yet I always seem to learn something. I try to pick off where I think I fell asleep as I don't want to miss something instructive. My understanding continues to improve as does my sleep schedule. Thank you, look forward to another couple of nights of new content 😴😂
Watching your videos at the end of the day brings a small amount of the type of comfort and retreat of traveling home for the winter and sitting by a fire.
Bro I got out of sleeping pills thanks to your videos. I watch them awake and then watch them again in order too fall asleep peacefully thanks to your wonderful mellifluous voice. Please never stop that
I think I speak for everyone when I plead you to record more of these slow instructive games. Thanks for what you do. 😄
I didn't fall asleep during this video, but I did learn a bunch! My favourite videos of yours are the ones covering your tournaments. I hope to watch your coverage of this years World Championship, your coverage of Carlsen v Caruana is what got me back into chess :)
This is the way
In fact, I always watching very long chess videos to get into sleep lol
Jerry, this is a big brain play of you; emphasizing the calmness of your voice on your next long video after taking that poll. Very nice.
Due to the title youtube likes to recommend this video anytime I am on after midnight. Like almost every day
My favorite videos of yours are the ones where you can’t stop laughing at surprise mistakes! But you might be surprised how many fans you’d get by tagging videos with this kind of vibe as ASMR lol
I understand why some might fall asleep to a chess-channel, but some of us are watching and listening carefully: You are explaining your thought processes thoroughly and always find a couple of arguments for the chosen move.
It is VERY instructive, Mr. Network! 👌👌
I'm not even joking when I first read this title I thought who falls asleep to your videos? But as I was starting to watch this video I fell asleep in the first 10 minutes than I tried watching it again the next day and fell asleep on five minutes 😂
You were cautioned. 😎
Better than ASMR
Your voice and videos are the most relaxing thing, I have had many sleepless nights resolved by your videos :)
You, Eric Rosen, and that guy that repairs old rusted machines are the reason I actually get sleep.
I like to think this video has so few likes because so many people have fallen asleep watching it so they forgot to like it when they woke up
We need more of these!! I've watched this several times for weeks now, before falling asleep.
dude chess makes me awake regardless the amount of strategy and tactics amazes me! Keep up the good work!!!!
Your videos awakened many sleeped cognitions (chess based), and give rest to many perturbing cognitions (life based). Ty mate.
Man I sit around waiting for rapid (15/10) videos from you. Going to have to settle for 10 min. You are one of my favorite teachers
I have always watched your videos to fall asleep mainly cause I'm usually so busy in the day amazing point of view and can't wait to see how much further you take it i was taught chess by my father around age 8 and i never started winning until i watched these videos you made thank you such gerry jerry geri jeri how ever you prefer it spelt
thank you
I love watching you play and comment on the closed positions such as game one and seeing how great your positional intellect is. Great content! Keep it up!
I have watched one game per day rather than the lot in one go, and found it very interesting how a top player calculates. In Lichess I hover around 1900 rating in blitz and I hope watching Jerry will help improve my game.
I always watch your videos before falling asleep. I immediately forget about any stress i had during the day. Keep up the good work. You are a great man.
This slower pace is very instructive. TY
When Jerry plays against 2000+ Elo rated player they play like Pepega 900 rated. When i play against them they play like Magnus
love to see more of this format! thanks again Jerry
Never been so excited to get some sleep. Let's go! Zzz
I really enjoyed watching this. At first I thought "gawd, 2 hours long, do I really want to?" but it's amazing how fast that 2 hours went by. I always find your running commentary on your thought process very instructional and informative. Thanks!
I was yawning 5 seconds after hearing your voice this is literal asmr
Wait… 28.6% HAVEN’T fallen asleep watching your videos?!?!
It's weird how RUclips works
I use ERIC ROSEN'S videos to sleep.
Now this showed up in the feed
LOL same
This is absolutely the best chess channel on YT. Thanks Jerry.
Fun fact there’s a guy on RUclips who’s whole channel is this. He’s called ASMRChess and he’s an awesome danish guy who makes really high quality videos. I would highly recommend it if you love this type of stuff.
Video is great, cheers 🍻
Me watching chessnetwork to fall asleep: perfect.
Your videos are really entertaining, but the soothing cadence of your commentary is almost like a lullaby to me! Great content, as always :)
Please more rapid content! The bullet is fun but this gives me much more insight into your thoughts and I like being able to evaluate the position in longer games :)
Yes, I have always fallen asleep watching your videos
i have used your video to learn and fall asleep at night for years!
Many times before 💤... Back in the days of h2 & the Adobe Flash gambit, I would fall asleep after half an hour or so
You make chess feel relaxing and logical. I've fallen asleep to your videos before. Thanks for the videos.
Jerry’s rapid games and yassers lectures have really helped me relax and get to sleep over the years. There voices are so great and there is something about trying to concentrate on what’s going on that helps me feel tired 😂
Time to make an ASMR channel
These videos have improved both my sleep and my chess! How many channels on RUclips can boast the same? 🙂
This title is insane because I always try to take a nap after my 8:30 before my next class but always end up watching RUclips videos… whenever I stumble upon one of these long videos by you about 15 minutes in I set an alarm to wake up for my next class because I know I’m out lol
Eight thirty am class*
