I also do a popular youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/kingscrusher - where I am currently trying to do a regular series of instructive games. I sometimes post links to those video annotations on the relevant games here. Please use the "Subscribe" button on my channel to keep notified of new ones. I'm not named Kingscrusher for nothing. I learned chess at the age of 5 and have been addicted every since. It was through watching my father playing against my brother that I picked up the game. My other hobbies watching the latest films, Computing, going out, seeing friends, watching TV. Apparently Lenox Lewis lives near me, and he has an interest in chess as well as being a great boxer. The answer to life, the universe and everything was forty-two according the the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. But maybe for chess players it should be 64!! I learned chess at the age of 5 and have been addicted every since!. It was through watching my father playing against my brother that I picked up the game. When i was nearly 18, I managed to win the UK LLoyds bank Under 18 championship!

Currently FIDE rated 2177. My BCF grading has been fluctuating over the years and is currently about 185 BCF, and I am play for Board 1 for both Barnet chess club and Muswell Hill chess club.
