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.

May-23-12		jessicafischerqueen: One more thing too- Remember around six months ago whenever I updated one of your playlists, you'd sometimes mention it on the information section of that video? If you posted each relevant playlist URL in the description of every single video you upload that fits with one of your games collections, I think this would elevate the number of playlist views. But you have to remember to do this before it would work. Remember every time and keep remembering to do it. Right at the top of the description: "Part of <____ by Kingscrusher> playlist, http://www.playlist.com and so on.

May-23-12		The Big Lebowski: Hey Kingscrusher I seen some of your great videos on the Game of Kings on youtube man! I'm new here and I wanted to say hello and keep up the outstanding work!

May-23-12		LoveThatJoker: <Tryfon> How are you? Thank you very much to the referral to your video with GM King on youtube. I thank you for your kindness in referring me to it, but I was surprised that GM King thought it ok to have the viewer watch from the losing side's perspective. I couldn't dare watch any of them as, although we all lose games here and there (even Kasparov!), we should always make the attempt to learn from the winning side and hence engender a winning environment within ourselves and our chess. I therefore switched immediately to your dual commentary with Paul Georghiou on the alternatives to 3...a6 in the Ruy Lopez. This I found to be truly enjoyable, and took the initiative to get Stockfish's appraisal of a certain interesting position that both of you were commenting on: After 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Bc5 4. c3 f5 5. d4 fxe4 6. Bxc6 dxc6 7. Nxe5 Bd6 this is the position that I asked Stockfish to elucidate on. Position after 7...Bd6 click for larger view It gave the following lines and evals at a depth of 24 after considering the position for 21 minutes and 24 seconds, <8. O-O> [8. Qh5+ g6 9. Qe2 Bf5 10. Nd2 Nf6 11. O-O Qe7 12. Ndc4 O-O-O 13. f3 exf3 14. Qxf3 Bxe5 15. Nxe5 c5 16. Bg5 (+0.56)] <8...Nf6 9. Bg5 Bxe5 10. dxe5 Qxd1 11. Rxd1 Nd5 12. Re1 h6 13. Bh4 Nf4 14. Nd2 Nd3 15. Rxe4 Bf5 16. Re2 Nxb2 17. e6 Nd3 18. Nb3 Nf4> (+0.60) Thanks for the referral, Tryfon and I look forward to seeing you at the live broadcast of the remaining games from the WCC here on CG. LTJ

May-24-12		kingscrusher: Jessica, I was thinking of just using a template set of links: With the following link first: http://www.chessworld.net/chessclub... This would promote all the playlists in the hierarchy

May-24-12		kingscrusher: <The Big Lebowski> Thanks - its a pleasure

May-24-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> ok, sounds good then. Like before, I'll post the work in here as I do it. UPDATED: Aronian by Kingscrusher http://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

May-25-12		kingscrusher: Yep let's check how view counts might go up. Today it indicates: " 72 playlists by CHESS HISTORY VIDEOS View all videos 269,135 views 1,365 subscribers "

May-25-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> I'm off work tomorrow it's Saturday so I should make more progress on the updates. I will do it methodically, in order. When I get to a playlist that has no new videos since I last updated, I will just post that as CHECKED- NO NEW VIDEOS: < > by Kingscrusher. If there are new videos added, then I will post here as UPDATED: < > by Kingscrusher. What do you think about the WC match if it goes to Rapids and Armageddon?! Don't you think it would be better to give the champion draw odds and play at least 16 games!?

May-25-12		kingscrusher: Hi Jessica I think we can't have everything from the World championship - exciting games are more to be found from players like Nakamura who is rapidly becoming my absolute favourite for video annotations right now - he is like a New Age Tal to me. The Rapids would be a fun spectacle but with Anand the much clearer favourite. I don't think I can stand 16 dull Slav games or equivalent - 12 is enough for me. At least we did get one or two quite exciting games though so far. Cheers, K

May-25-12		kingscrusher: Jessica, thanks for all your enthusiasm for these playlists BTW - I will try and put a playlist highlight on all my videos eventually in the description - or at least the highest viewed ones initially.
