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-17-25 Botvinnik vs Petrov, 1940

kingscrusher: 32...Nf8 makes a nice checkmate puzzle: [DIAGRAM]

   Oct-17-25 Botvinnik vs Ragozin, 1940

kingscrusher: I guess that even if these Botvinnik games with his training partner are largely "rigged" - they make for instructive games with "instructive mistakes" if Ragozin may not have been putting 100% determination to play as best as he could.

   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 ...

Jun-01-12		jessicafischerqueen: UPDATED: Tryfon Gavriel TWO by Kingscrusher by CHESS HISTORY VIDEOS http://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Jun-01-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> Ok all of my games collections on your videos are now updated, except for my "Evolution of Style" playlist- because it's redundant, given that you have that one yourself on the "meta page." Tomorrow is Saturday no work for me, so I'll go through all my <Kingscrusher> playlists tomorrow one more time to check them. Then I'll be sure to keep updating them on a daily basis- sorry to have let that slide. Anand is Champion!

Jun-01-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> Aha <Fischer> playlist is not updated yet. I'm sometimes confused about that because you have your own <letsplaychess.com> Fischer page with all your videos on him- but I just checked and saw that in your new playlist template you actually link to my playlist on your Fischer vids. I guess it's good to have both right? So I will update my <Fischer by Kingscrusher> playlist tomorrow and then check all the playlists again once over, then all mine will be up to date.

Jun-03-12		MarkFinan: Hi There <Kingcrusher>.. I was pointed in your direction by our mutual friend Annie, as I have a few questions regarding holding some fun chess events that I'd like to ask you.. Without going Into too much detail here, as In what Iv'e already done, and what I still need to do, who Iv'e contacted so far etc..etc, I wandered If you'd mind If i contacted you privately via your facebook page and If you'd be so kind as to take 10 mins of your time giving me some answers to a few things that I'm fairly positive you could help me with? BTW love the video's, yours are the only ones I watch now, I must have at least 100 of them downladed to my phone! Keep up the good work :)

Jun-05-12		kingscrusher: <MarkFinan> Yep - please contact me on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/kingscrusher

Jun-05-12		MarkFinan: Thank you <KC>, expect a longish list of questions within the next 24hrs :) I Just thought I'd ask first, even though Annie already told me you don't bite, lol

Jun-22-12		MarkFinan: Hi Tryfron.. I mailed your facebook YT account sometime last week.. In my correspondance via email with Annie she kindly posted a link there, so I sent the message there for you :). Thanks for your time KC, and keep up the good work with your YT vids. All the best Mark Finan

Jun-23-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> OK every one of your playlists is now up to date, and I believe they are complete. http://www.youtube.com/user/jessica... Sorry about letting the updates slide- I will be checking your youtube channel first thing every morning now for the rest of my life, so as to be sure the updates are actually up to date?! I hope you are having a wonderful summer over there!

Jul-02-12		kingscrusher: Thanks Jessica

Jul-02-12		kingscrusher: <MarkFinan> I cant seem to find them on Facebook - I am Kingscrusher on facebook or "Tryfon Gavriel"

Jul-10-12		Annie K.: Hi <Tryfon> - I believe Mark means that he sent a message to the facebook account you give on your YouTube channel, http://www.facebook.com/kingscrushe.... Try looking for it there. :)

Jul-20-12		kingscrusher: Thanks Annie I found the message now!

Jul-27-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> since you are back again at the massive "Evolution of Chess Style" series, I thought to pass you this from <Botvinnik's> autobiography "Achieving the Aim": <"[Tartakower] was a talented chess writer-- Soviet schoolchildren learnt to play in the <<<1920s>>> from his book "Hypermodern Chess.">

Aug-02-12		MarkFinan: Hi there Tryfon :).. Iv'e only just noticed your reply to my FB account mate, but It was helpful, and I'll reply later (Through FB) explaining a bit more.... I think Iv'e got the chess sets, just waiting on a message via FB, just need the clocks now.. I'll explain all later, but I appreciate your reply.. And thanks to Annie for clearing up the mix-up :)

Aug-28-12		Annie K.: Happy Birthday! :)

Aug-28-12		twinlark: I'd also like to wish you a happy birthday.

Oct-13-12		Xaurus: kingscrusher, I just watched your video of Carlsen - Anand (Bilbao 2012 RD9). Chessbase spreads erroneous information when they claim that the game was Carlsen's first win with classical time controls against Anand. Carlsen won against Anand in Linares 2009. So the correct statement should be that it's Carlsen's first win with classical time controls against Anand in 3 years.

Oct-19-12		kingscrusher: Xaurus: Are you sure they didn't mean without Fischer Increment ?! "Classical" FIDE time controls means for me without the increment.

Oct-19-12		jessicafischerqueen: Ok all the first names are added and all playlists in 'GRID FORMAT' which looks really interesting especially on a big screen. All my playlists on this link: http://www.youtube.com/user/jessica...

Oct-22-12		kingscrusher: Great stuff! Cheers Jessica :)

Oct-22-12		Check It Out: Hi <Kingscrusher>, I'm a big fan of your youtube work. It's both entertaining and educational. I'll be in town for the London Chess Classic this year and would like to buy you a pint as a thank you. You can reach me at mattdday at gmail dot com. Best, Matt

Oct-27-12		kingscrusher: Cheers Matt :)

Nov-21-12		Alien Math: Random find today, Nicknames of chessplayers by Bill Wall http://www.geocities.com/SiliconVal...

Dec-01-12		madlydeeply: Love your vids sir I would love to see some Smyslov games that fellah has always sorta baffled me! Plus he was so good what with four decades of candidates matches....

Dec-01-12		madlydeeply: i think he targets squares over kings and loose pieces and weak pawn structure and such. Maybe. hmm.
