As well as watching my videos, you may also like to try correspondence style chess with a web interface. You can do so atwww.chessworld.net. This has a "Videos" menu with the above links and more.
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.
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!!
When i was nearly 18, I managed to win the UK LLoyds bank Under 18 championship! In later years I attained a FIDE rating through the Lloyds bank Masters tournaments and through other tournaments such as Surrey and all play alls organised through Adam Raoof. 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. My full chess cv can be found here:-
(sorry for the use of Wayback machine!)
https://web.archive.org/web/2019081...
In 2008, I finally qualified for the British Chess Championship by coming 2nd= at the Southend Open tournament with an ECF 206 performance.
University- I studied computing in business and obtained a 2:1 honours degree

My life advice is: have fun and enjoy life to the maximum! - I hope that chessworld.net helps in this goal! :-))))

   Oct-15-25 Botvinnik vs I Kan, 1939

kingscrusher: <Zanyarqadir> It seems Qc2 just forces checkmate (black wins here)- better than taking a draw: [DIAGRAM]

   Oct-15-25 Botvinnik vs Panov, 1939

kingscrusher: I think Botvinnik kind of has a more advanced Silman Opening "imbalance theory". He likes openings with imbalances but in this form: Imbalance theory modification: He can have what seems to be unfavourable stuff, but as long as they are not exploitable. So having quite often ...

   Oct-14-25 Botvinnik vs Reshevsky, 1938

kingscrusher: Botvinnik the Bulldozer at work!

   Oct-14-25 Botvinnik vs V Makogonov, 1938

kingscrusher: Nice c-file authority shown here.

   Oct-12-25 Botvinnik vs Vidmar, 1936

kingscrusher: Great exploitation of the light square bishop without a counterpart. Not helped also by the wrong knight recapture. 16...Nfxd5 should have been played because in some variations black then has f6 to kick the e5 knight.

   Oct-12-25 Botvinnik vs T Tylor, 1936

kingscrusher: Nice exploitation of passed pawn and opposite colored bishops don't help black.

   Oct-08-25 G Lisitsin vs Botvinnik, 1933

kingscrusher: 12.Nxh7 is a big advantage to White: Georgy Lisitsin - Mikhail Botvinnik 0-1 1.0, Leningrad Masters 1933 [DIAGRAM] Analysis by Stockfish 17.1: 1. +- (2.17): 12...Qf7 13.Nxf8 Kxf8 14.Bh6+ Ke8 15.Qg4 Na6 16.Rf1 d6 17.Qh4 Qg8+ 18.Kf2 Be6 19.Kg1 Kd7 20.Qxf6 Qh7 21.Bg5 Bc4 22.Rf2

   Oct-07-25 G Lisitsin vs Botvinnik, 1932

kingscrusher: I think I am starting to get it. Botvinnik has a good role model for planning as in "mini-plans" because he makes the positions stable first - and often that involves a bind. Here is this game, first a bind on the d pawn. Then the e-pawn. Then mini-plan after mini-plan until ...

   Oct-06-25 V Rauzer vs Botvinnik, 1931

kingscrusher: 17...g5 is the most accurate it seems for black to hold equality with best play from White: [DIAGRAM] After Qc5+ although Botvinnik wins, white misses some accurate continuations for advantage in particular 20.Bf3: [DIAGRAM] If Nc5 trying to get coordination with the Queen on ...

   Oct-06-25 A Yurgis vs Botvinnik, 1931

kingscrusher: 32...Bc5 seems more accurate than c2 [DIAGRAM] In the game White had to play 34 Rfxc2 to try and hold.

Dec-31-11		hms123: <kingscrusher> Thanks for the spreadsheet. It is very helpful.

Jan-15-12		jessicafischerqueen: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! Sorry Tryfon to be so late replying. I'm also behind in updating your games collections, but I know where I left off so it shouldn't take too long. I had a terrible december in Korea but I'm back in Canada now on vacation so I finally have some time for chess and posting.

Jan-15-12		kingscrusher: Welcome back Jess - I was wondering what happened to you! Happy new year! Cheers, K

Mar-01-12		mark jc. Garado: Hello sir Tryfon <Famous> Kingscrusher i love your youtube channel its so helping me to play better than yesterday a good advice and good voice! Im one of your hundredz of thousands avid fans.. In march 11 2012 is my 24th birth day, can we play in chesscube.com? Thanks god bless you and your home and more powers to you.

Mar-27-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> thanks so much for posting the Andrew Martin video on Bobby- I think Andrew Martin is fabulous. I've been watching all of your radio shows- I download them and watch them on the weekends in parts, as training exercises. I hope all is well with you- I have purchased Sony Vegas Pro 11 video editing suite, and it's taking me months to learn how to use it. If I ever do learn how, documentaries on <Sultan Khan> and <Alexander Alekhine> are in the pipe. My main goal in life is to release at least one more chess history documentary before I die of old age.

Apr-01-12		Shams: <"I am actually becoming very interested recently myself in how to encourage people to have a look at my older videos rather than the latest ones."> The youtube redesign sucks for this. I hate it.

Apr-02-12		Check It Out: I second that, <Shams>.

Apr-16-12		kingscrusher: Thanks Jess - I will try and cover all those blitz games :)

May-03-12		King Sacrificer: Hi <kingscrusher>. You are doing a great job in Youtube. Maybe it has been asked a thousand times but i would like to know the name of the tools you are using when annotating games. I want to set up the same system in my computer to analyze games. Thanks..

May-18-12		kingscrusher: World championship 2012 playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

May-18-12		Memethecat: <kingscrusher> Thanks for trying to answer my question, I cant play 5min chess, the old neurons just don't fire that quick anymore. I meant to pop by a few days ago after reading the interesting analysis you wrote on the Sicilian Rossolimo @ Brooklyn64, very useful for beginners like me & greatly appreciated, keep up the good work.

May-18-12		kingscrusher: <King Sacrificer> I tend to use just Chessbase light

May-20-12		jessicafischerqueen: Whoppa no problem <Tryfon> I'll get on that when I get home from work today.

May-21-12		jessicafischerqueen: Hello <Tryfon>- Here it is, Naka update! PLAYLIST Nakamura by Kingscrusher by CHESS HISTORY VIDEOS FIDE Candidate Master Tryfon Gavriel video annotates 19 games by American chess champion Hikaru Nakamura. Included is live footage of two Naka Blitz games and a blitz game between Gavriel and Nakamura played on ICC. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... What do you think? ANAND or GELFAND? I think ANAND will hold his title?!

May-22-12		kingscrusher: Hi Jessica Many thanks. Unfortunately I don't have that footage of my blitz game with Naka - all I have is him playing WGM Stefanova Perhaps the quick sort option could be by the latest videos uploaded, to make it easier to find out if any have been missed. I am starting to construct a Playlist overview page here (just started it today) : http://www.chessworld.net/chessclub... What do you think?!

May-22-12		kingscrusher: Please can we make sure that between our playlists we cover: The 'Old Masters' (pre 1945) The champions (chronological order) Greco the 'Romantic' Philidor the 'Pawnbroker' Staunton the 'Scholar' Morphy the 'Developer' Steinitz the 'Defender' Lasker the 'Fighter' Capablanca 'Simply' the best! Alekhine The 'Destroyer' Euwe The 'Theorist' === The challengers (alphabetical order) Blackburne The 'Black Death' Chigorin The 'Originator' Marshall the 'Attacker' Mir Sultan Khan The 'Natural' Nimzovich the 'Eccentric' Pillsbury the 'Planner' Reti the 'Modernist' Rubenstein the 'Thinker' Tarrasch the 'Doctor of Dogma' Tartakower the 'Joker' === 20th Century Greats 1945-1999 The champions (chronological order) Botvinnik The 'Worker' Smyslov the 'Finisher' Tal the 'Magician' Petrosian the 'Manoeverer' Spassky 'Serve and Volley' Fischer the 'Analyser' Karpov 'Kalm, Kool and Kollected' Kasparov the 'Killer' The challengers (alphabetical order) Averbakh the 'Funeral Director' Bronstein the 'Improviser' Geller 'Mr. Consistent' Keres the 'Artist' Korchnoi the 'Rebel' Larsen the Dane who 'dared' Nezhmetdinov the 'Sacrificer' Reshevesky 'prodigious talent' Short the 'Professional' Stein the 'Unlucky Ukrainian' Timman 'Dutch Courage' === The 'Young Guns' (2000 onwards) The champions (chronological order) Khalifman the 'Trainer' Anand 'the Intuitive Indian' Ponomario 'King Pono' Khasimzhanov the 'Dark horse' Topalov the 'Gambler' Kramnik the 'Survivor' The challengers (alphabetical order) Adams the 'British Bulldog' Aronian the 'Armenian Avenger' Bu Xzangzhi the 'Chinese Checker' Carlsen the 'Clever Kid' Grischuk the 'Blitzer' Ivanchuk 'Different Planet' Leko 'Top Drawer' Mamedyarov the 'Virtuoso' Morozevich the 'Energiser' Nakamura the 'Determinator' Navara the 'Discovered Czech' J. Polgar The 'the Lady's not for turning' Radjabov the 'Azeri Attacker'

May-22-12		jessicafischerqueen: Good heavens! Where did you get all those nicknames from?! Ok updating and coordinating playlists sounds in order. I'll take a good look at the new overview page, but I won't be able to do any serious work until the weekend. <Tryfon> I tell you what would help me: Would you consider telling <OnlineChess Lessons> http://www.youtube.com/user/OnlineC... to A: Stop using "kingscrusher" in the keyword tag section of all their videos?! B: Tell them to delete "kingscrusher" from all of their keyword tags. Because right now when I youtube search "Kingscrusher Nakamura" or any other Master, tons of their videos show up in the search results, which really slows down the process of finding your videos. It's really annoying and I almost fired off a message to them. However it shouldn't be me who does that. Maybe you have a cross promotional agreement with them? If you do, then never mind. If you don't then I bet they will honor your request to delete your name from their key word tags on their videos. It would be twice as fast to do this work if you got them to stop using your name in the keyword boxes.

May-22-12		wordfunph: <kingscrusher> will copy your list to my collection of monikers, thanks a bunch!

May-22-12		kingscrusher: Hi Jess Yes, I will tell them - thanks for raising the issue. Let me know if you want any videos promoting etc Cheers,K

May-22-12		kingscrusher: Jessica, I think you might be able to use a negative tag e.g. kingscrusher nakamura -onlinechesslessons on a Youtube search

May-22-12		jessicafischerqueen: heh BRILLIANT!? It works perfectly, problem solved. Thanks <Tryfon> it's clear sailing with the "minus" search terms!?

May-23-12		kingscrusher: Hi Jessica I may put that Playlist structure page as a link in my video descriptions of the more viewed videos - so hopefully we should start to see in the next few days and weeks, more visits to the Playlists. Cheers, K

May-23-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> sounds like a good idea. You know what though, I think the new Youtube design has discouraged the old practice of visiting a friend or subscriber's page and looking around for what's there. I get many fewer private messages now, and almost no channel comments. The channel comment viewer is "hidden" in that it's not prominent on the default channel page, you have to click "feed" and then "comments". In addition, the "send a message" link for a given user on their channel page is missing most of the time. I used to get tons of channel views, now they are very low. So fewer people will come to my page and browse through my videos, or browse through my playlists. It's very sad that youtube did this. It's made it much less of a community. But I'll still update all your playlists, maybe there's other ways to promote them like you said.
