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!)

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-28-12		kingscrusher: Hi Jessica To handle split videos in parts, it is probably best to use the Quick sort option on editing a play list to be by uploaded date - to keep the splits together. I guess you are using this sort order already, but just in case, I thought I would mention it.

May-28-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> I'm pretty sure the split video pieces are all intact on all the updated playlists. I'll be double checking everything after all the updating is finished. If there are any split pieces missing, they are very easy to find. After I do the final double check, if you notice any videos missing, please let me know and I'll put them right in. QUESTION: Do you think <Nakamura> would be competitive with <Carlsen> if they had a WC match right now?!

May-28-12		jessicafischerqueen: UPDATED: Ivanchuk by Kingscrusher by CHESS HISTORY VIDEOS http://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

May-28-12		kingscrusher: <jessicafischerqueen> If Naka and Carlsen had a match, probably Carlsen is favourite based on the results of past encounters. It has to do with style clash - some styles are better at conquering other styles. Carlsen has shown he can adapt to Naka's style quite effectively.

May-28-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> but what about three more years of <Naka> gaining experience at top level? His rating is monstrous now, he'll be invited to all the strong events. I have a gut feeling that he will become so strong that, like Alekhine or Tal, he may be able to impose his style on other players. What do you think?! <Naka> in three years?!?

May-28-12		kingscrusher: Jessica, I hope so , because he is one of my favourite GMs

May-28-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> I hope so too. Your recent videos on <Nakamura> have really got my juices flowing, he's so young as well (not to mention Carlsen is young too). Although both have very different styles, there is an abundance of fighting spirit in both!? <Nakamura> reminds you of <Tal>- <Carlsen> reminds me of <Fischer>, especially in his ferocious will to push even an infintesimal advantage in a long, arduous endgame, wanting more than a draw.

May-29-12		Xaurus: Hi kingscrusher, glad to see that you included Rybka - Houdini game 1 from the first TCEC Match in your "immortal games" list. I was the man behind TCEC and I must say that it was a great public success, and I am "proud" to have supplied the chess world with such a stunning game.

May-30-12		kingscrusher: Xaurus: Well done for organising such a fantastic match. Perhaps we can arrange a Skype interview video at some point?! Also I am keen perhaps to do more games from that epic match. Thanks for popping by here.
