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-18-25 Botvinnik vs Lilienthal, 1941

kingscrusher: There is quite a funny variation I found at the end of this game: Bxg5 28.fxg5 Ng8: [DIAGRAM] We can play here Nxf5 gxf5 30.Rxf5: [DIAGRAM] And now on Qg7 we have the amusing Be4: [DIAGRAM] Our queen cannot be taken because of Rf7 double check and Rh7 mate: [DIAGRAM]

   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

Nov-12-13		LucB: Congratulations on that first Chessbase article. Too bad they messed up your name :(

Nov-12-13		wordfunph: <kingcrusher> CG is proud of you, congrats!

Nov-12-13		kingscrusher: <LucB:> They corrected my name but my photo remains awful - I need to shave :)

Nov-12-13		TheFocus: Congratulations <kingscrusher>! Well deserved after all your fine work.

Nov-14-13		LucB: <I need to shave> ... well we all do!

Nov-22-13		The17thPawn: <kingscrusher> - Really enjoyed your synopsis of each world championship game as I have no time for the live versions. I was wondering if you were going to do a synopsis video of game 9? I realize it is probably amongst the most complex games of this championship, but I was keen to review your insights. All The Best

Nov-28-13		kingscrusher: <the17thpawn> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JotV...

Dec-02-13		The17thPawn: <kingscrusher> - Thank you for the link. I came across your game 9 synopsis a couple of days after posting.

Dec-31-13		Annie K.: <Tryfon> Happy New Year! :)

Dec-31-13		kingscrusher: Same with you Annie :)

Jan-03-14		jessicafischerqueen: Happy New Year <Tryfon>! You have been very busy with <Capablanca>, good idea. All my "Kingscrusher playlists" are up to date. Also, don't forget you can sign into my youtube account any time you want to rearrange things if you get a brainstorm or a new idea.

Jan-06-14		kingscrusher: Happy new year Jessica That's great Any interesting player which you think I have quite a few videos for, please do a new playlist for that player. These come up on Youtube searches as well for the Playlist filter of course. Best wishes Tryfon

Jan-06-14		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> Good idea, I'll definitely take a fresh look. I need to look at your own playlists first as well, to make sure we don't duplicate work. I did notice you did a <Richard Reti> game this week, and I remember thinking that he is probably underrated in chess history and underrepresented in youtube chess analysis too?! If you did more <Reti> games I'd be enthusiastic about a "Kingscrusher Reti playlist." Anyways I will have time this weekend to have a better look.

Jan-06-14		kingscrusher: Yep Reti nimzovich breyer would be good appendix reference playlists for the evolution of style as well

Jan-06-14		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> In that case I'll begin by establishing a playlist for <Reti>, and wait until you do a video analysis of a <Gyula Breyer> game you might like. I'll also look for other masters you've covered who don't have a playlist yet on my youtube channel or your channels.

Jan-07-14		kingscrusher: Jessica, I think players in the FIDE top 100 Men and Women's lists are all good candidates too. http://ratings.fide.com/toplist.phtml

Jan-07-14		kingscrusher: Jessica, you can do title searches to avoid tags in videos like this: title: "petrosian" chess kingscrusher This might be helpful Also you can even do -titles like this: title: "petrosian" chess kingscrusher title: -"blitz"

Jan-07-14		kingscrusher: Jessica if you find the title: searches quite quick to find relevant videos, and do the more exciting players from the Top 100 FIDE list, I can try and develop particular playlists you create as well. Just let me know what players capture your imagination, and we can start to build up a portfolio here via the Playlists. Regarding playlist duplicates: I don't think my Youtube channel playlists will do anything but help promote your playlist ones. I have done some so that people coming to my channel directly don't miss out on them - e.g. key world chess champions. The embedded links on these videos are often to your playlists anyway. So I hope you aren't annoyed to find playlists on my channel you have done. Best wishes Tryfon

Jan-07-14		kingscrusher: Jessica, Sulthan Khan would be a good playlist player There is interest right now on reddit chess: http://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comme... I have quite a few games of his Cheers, Tryfon

Jan-07-14		kingscrusher: Sorry you already have that one: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Great stuff

Jan-09-14		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> That top 100 list looks like a promising resource to help create some new "kingsrcrusher playlists." I will be making a few on the weekend. One last thing- I would like you to sign in to my youtube channel when you get a chance, because I want you to have long-term control over it. If I dropped dead tomorrow, I'd like to know you could keep it alive by signing in every so often. (cross fingers I hope I don't die tomorrow). But remember when you first signed in they blocked you until I got an email and pressed the "accept sign in from you" and such? I have a feeling that if you don't sign in every so often, you might get another message like that. So if you could, maybe this weekend or before, sign in as a test? Then we'll know more about it. Anyways back in a few days.

Jan-10-14		kingscrusher: Jessica, they have new protection on the account for logging in from an usual location. I think instead if you integrate with Google+ you can assign me "kingscrusher" as a contributing author now. Perhaps we should try this method instead.

Jan-10-14		MarkFinan: Mr Crusher.. I have a question for you if you wouldn't mind answering best you can.. When I was young I played chess to what I thought was a decent level. I played for Yorkshire when I was 10/11 a few times, won lots of competitions, etc. But I got out of chess around 12 year old and now I'm playing again I keep wandering what level I could have reached if I'd stuck at it.. I was just wandering at what age you got into playing, what levels were you playing at (if you were playing at that age?) age 10/11? And have you ever come across a player called Stephen Betts in your leagues and tournament games around England? Thanks in advance. Mark. ✌

Jan-11-14		kingscrusher: <MarkFinan> My first ECF grade was 127. I think I was about 12 Info is here: http://www.gtryfon.demon.co.uk/bcc/... I don't know "Stephen Betts" Cheers, Tryfon

Jan-12-14		William Eversley: <kingscrusher> Hi Sir, I'm a big fan of yours and I was wondering if you could have a look at my line in the 6...Ng4 Najdorf(I don't have any chess engines). I believe it might interest you and it would be greatly appreciated! Btw, would I post in on this page or elsewhere?
