As you wait for your next treatment session, Corvus pays you a visit where he goes over the basics of chess (in case you never played before), and then follows up with a casual game until you fall blissfully asleep.
*En Passant Correction*: For White: White pawn on Rank 5, Black makes a pawn's first move 2 squares from Rank 7 to Rank 5. For Black: Black pawn on Rank 4, White makes a pawn's first move 2 squares from rank 2 to Rank 4.

let me know if you ever want to do that chess collab we've been talking about! Great video as always Rift!
Love to see one of my favourite creators show up in the comment section of another favourite! Love your videos, they got me back into chess after more than a decade away from the game
Now that's gotta be one historical asmr video
id do ungodly things for this collaboration
I thought it was your videos
My two favorite ASMR channels
Corvus beaking the chessboard is the kind of quality check that should be the standard.
I love the long running joke about not getting a body mod video, I forget how many years it's been since the OG video but it's great to see its still in the lore
As a doctor, Corvus is obviously a very smart guy. And judging from this video, he also must be a tactical genius. How fortunate we are to have such an intelligent doctor at Arkham Sanitarium
Being great at chess has nothing to do with being a tactical genius. Many great chess players have stated that you don’t have to be smart to be one of the worlds best it just comes naturally to some people. Magnus Carlson the worlds best chess player is average in iq and problem solving situations
haha yeah.. calling Corvus a tactical genius is a bit much LOL but he said he appreciates the sentiment
His last name is Carlsen, not Carlson. What is the source of your claim about his IQ and problem solving skills? Also, you may watch him here on KZhead, as he plays three simultaneous games blindfolded, if you have any doubt about the brilliancy of his mind.
@@goodish9765 In fact ☝️🤓 he has never taken an IQ test (said by himself in interviews) 'cause he thinks it's pointless, and, even though it's true, being good at chess doesn't mean you're smart, chess is all based on pattern recognition and memory, two very important skills that are definitely important when measuring intelligence
I really like when you play Corvus, his character has always been the most soothing and genuinely enjoyable like an old friend in every multiverse :)
What do you mean "play" ?
Well as the video game character in the multiverse he is of course
@@EphemeralRiftskinwalker
Seeing Dr. Corvus again truly is something to be grateful of! I must say, he has great eyes!
too bad they're not his! but that's why he likes to wear this mask in particular: to show them off!
Corvus with eyes is by far the scariest thing on this channel.
Ok im not the only to see it
He changed his mask. And his life.
Agreed. And this channel used to be way scarier back in the old days.
@@staticradio724The old days are now. It's beaking time
I can't believe Corvus googled en passant. I audibly exclamated "Holy Hell!" when I saw this.
New response just dropped
Actual sanitarium
Margaret goes on vacation, never comes back
Ignite the NWO!
@@nyks3394Lies! 😢
I've missed Corvus. Glad to see him back. Perhaps this could be the beakening of a new era?
That was painfully funny
Note : En passant is only available after the opposite pawn advances 2 squares (from origin 2 squares first move) to be adjacent to your pawn. in this case you can capture it diagonally while advancing 1 square. Example: white pawn from d4 to d5, black pawn to e5, white pawn takes e6.
It bothered me also.
You're in the wrong multiverse.
+++
Holy hell
New response just dropped
The gloves over the board was amazing
5:25 Possible Episode: Corvus accidently jabs himself with an experimental syrum causing him to be clumsy with the things hes trying to present to us
WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE ASYLUM WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
very original comment
@@Gotmilk0112 I agree
We can never escape the aslume
Id be shocked if there was a script This feels so natural
Corvus doesn't like to rely on scripts.
Corvus could beak anything and I’ll get the most quality of tingles.
hmmm
Corvus is reported to have been the first-ever individual rated 2900 back in the 21st century
Loved that part when I played Chess with Corvus.
Name checks out 😂
I’ve been watching for 4-5 years and have severe insomnia. Sometimes I won’t sleep for 2-3 days but you seem to do the trick and ease my body into relaxation. Thank you uncle e 👍
"stand proud my favoritest patient, you are strong" Hardest line in this video ong🥶🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥
seeing dr. corvus's eyes through his mask strikes fear into my heart knowing what eldritch horrors they must've witnessed, amazing video as always
Corvus and Margaret are my favorite of your characters.
They said that you are their favorite patient!
Genuinely glad we're getting more ERO based vids genuinely interested in seeing what happens next in the omniverses
same
I’m so happy you’re bringing our favorite characters back with the last few vids! It’s been too long
Seeing the eyes breaks my Corvus immersion so quickly but I will enjoy this one with eyes closed, falling asleep ❤ thank you for a new Corvus video!
Corvus is my favorite, so glad to have another video with him
you’ve been coming out with nonstop bangers this past week
Really enjoying the return of the Arkham staff! Also a plus when uploaded during work, keeps me calm and entertained throughout the work day.
Finally another ERU video🙌🏻loved it thanks ER🤝🏻
Always happy to see a new Corvus video drop.
BEYOND ecstatic to see a chess video!! :D
It's always amazing getting a new Corvus video, he's always been my favorite doctor. Also interesting seeing his eyes this time, usually the glare makes it look like the lenses are just his eyes
Love the videos, keep up the good work!
I asked for a corvus video a few days ago. I didn't think you'd deliver this fast! Stamped and mailed. You never miss!
Always happy to see Corvus!
Very good quality indeed, as always. You have gathered a whole fandom around you and continue to make videos with unique vibe.
i try my best!
Corvus smelling the chessboard to make sure I aint cheating?
Thank you for the lesson, I look back fondly on our time together at the facility.
I missed Corvus so glad he's back
Oh hell yes. I have wanted a return from both corvus and chess for awhile. I did not expect to get them both at the same time.
the chess board being the wrong orientation triggered me to no end lol
I WAS WAITING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS
How so
also, 45:55 isn't a legal move
@@infinitevoid227white square always goes to your right. Either it’s rank 1 or 8
Always happy to see a post of yours on my notifications ^-^
Excellent! Glad to see the good doctor doing well!
Didn’t know my wish would come this fast 😂 thank you ❤
3:40 Corvus the Gentleman 🎩
Great video! I still watch your first chess video teaching us chess, so this onw is a great addition to the playlist. Many thanks for another great video. I know you put a lot of effort into your work.
I have been waiting for a new corvus video for so so so so long
Holy. Heck. My suggestion in the Ticket Man video was Corvus Chess. Still haven't finished staying awake in the back half of that video, so idk if I made it into that one, but here you go turning it into a whole seperate video. Love to see it. ❤
Always a good day when ER uploads a new Corvus video
Wow, these videos a coming fast, and i love them all😊
I may be really late, but I love having these sessions with Corvus. He is 'ze best doctor in ze sanitarium'.
what a lovely game of chess. i might have to partake in this action with Corvus some day
Ze sanitarium has been a welcoming home for me the past ( *text unavailable* ) years. I’m always satisfied with my treatment! Thank you Corvus!
The nothing chess piece set is so awesome!
I love this, I know what I'll be watching to go to bed tonight!
corvus making the executive decision to move my pieces for me while i fall asleep at the table
I love E's content so much they really are the best. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are stupidly awesome. You feel like the universal "weird but cool" uncle we all needed, thank you.
*awesomely stupid
@@EphemeralRift Awesomely stupid! Of course, of course. Ephemeral Rift extended universe explained video when? We need an update on the multiverse and how far the New World Order has spread
He asked us to look up the meaning of En Passant… I love this man
Yes I’ve been meaning to learn chess, now I finally have the best motivation!
dave and corvus in the same week 😊
CORVUS IS BACK YET AGAIN OUR FAVOURITETIST RIFT TRAVELING DOCTOR
thanks for the video and its great to have corvus return. thanks for the video again i'll use it to learn how to play chess
I prefer not to see Corvus's eyes.
Bro that's so fuckin scary 💀
The different masks we see probably mean we are with a different universe's Corvus. The white mask, black mask, and leather mask, and other masks that I've probably forgotten about. Some you can see the eyes but others you cannot.
You haven't seen the void if you have not looked into corvus's eyes
@@Sea_foam-vt6dx Fair
Awesome thanks Rift
Wait, I’ve just realised there’s lore to this channel. It’s all connected. In the last video. (The doctor one) he mentions a building called the sanatorium, in the busy bored video the lady is also in the sanatorium. In the doctor video he says he switches brains with this guy that’s playing chess with us and the busy bored girl. There’s so much more lore but I would be typing for hours if I explained it all lol.
It’s all been lore for YEARS
Look back on some of his older videos, he references previous videos & previous events CONSTANTLY every video drives me deeper
Welcome to the club, or Sanatorium bud hahahaha
Ohhhh boy...
you must be new here
Thanks for teaching me how to play chess Dr. Corvus 😂
I like seeing the information on the location of the areas on the shelf, you should do a vid with all the multiverses in jars on a shelf.
Corvus is so attractive for no reason 😭❤️ I love them
Love how it fades out
Our favorite plague doctor is back!!!
Always love to see a board game in the picture, would love to have a board game man video to see a part of your collection of board games!
How am I five days late to this!? My notifications didn't tell me nothing! My boi Corvus is here and he remembered about the body modification! How exciting! I hope he can give me many more eyes so I can have more eye lids to close when I slumber. I very much enjoy closing my eyelids!
Im glad I got to see my most favoritest doctor! Been awhile since ya portrayed Corvus.
Corvus! Im always happy to see my favourite doctor again 💖💖🦷🐦⬛✨
I find it interesting that this is the 5th building, floor etc. and the transition from introduction to board layout is at 5:55
i didn't even notice that myself!
Id love to see you bust another puzzle out, loved those videos
Signs of a good character include not being able to match character to creator. Corvus is an excellent example of this and a rarity in the ASMR community, well done!
what do you mean "character"? Corvus finds that quite insulting!
@@EphemeralRift Corvus can be insulted all he wants, I’d still whoop him in chess
Getting to play such a relaxing game with a good friend is just what I needed, thank you Dr. Corvus!
as an avid chess enjoyer, I'm happy to have this video ^w^
This is glorious!!!!!❤
Awesome video as always ER! I always love the plauge doctor, and your masks remind me of the russian gp9 gasmask i had as a kid😂 eyes have similar metal bindings to leather/rubber and glass
Corvus is my favorite ERU character
A cool move would be allowing the King to move anywhere within 2 tiles of its current position. This would effectively create a 5x5 square surrounding the King in which the piece may move freely. You could possibly allow this only when your King reaches the opposing edge of tiles, upgrading it like you would a pawn, in order to keep the game balanced. I've always thought it was weird that the King can only move 1 tile away. You might have to adjust the way this mechanic would interact with Check/Checkmate so the game is still winnable though.
I never expected this 🤯
Man, i love corvus
Good video! I noticed that there was a correction for the En Passant move in the description of the video, but in case you are still confused, the easiest way I have had it explained to me, is that if your pawn is on the opponents 4th rank (Row that pawns would move 2 squares to if they chose to) and your opponent moves 2 squares next to your pawn, you can take it as if it only moved one square.
Coming into 2024, I thought that we wouldn't see many og-style videos with the sanitarium characters, but I gladly stand corrected so far!
Back to my favourite asmrist with my favourite boardgame
I love to part where Corvus said it’s made him feel very good in his heart, all three of them that got me dead laughing.
Yaaaaay, my favorite woodpecker is back 😃
Its funny because just earlier today i have played chess for the verry first time with a friend in school and it was actually really fun so this is verry fitting for todays rleaxsation and falling asleep :D thanks alot and thank god for your huge creativity and skill !
Ladies and gentlemans, the grand master Corvus🗣️
New place in the Corvus timeline!!!
I literally just played chess for the first time in years and now there's this video
Whoo! New Corvus vid!
We need more of Benjamin, great work btw :)
Ze good doctor is back!!
I see we're back at the Arkham Sanitarium again. First we met Benjamin, then Dave, now we're playing chess with Corvus.
Wooooo return of corvus 🎉🎉🎉
I just got a beaking AND my items from zhe delivery man but more Corvus is always welcome
