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! :-))))

Nov-20-25 Bologan vs Carlsen, 2012   kingscrusher: I think 29.h4 is the real culprit for the disaster. Two issues in the White position - the g3 bishop seems locked out of the game. But the bigger one is he rook coming to the 7th rank. The bishop to g3 has caused light square weaknesses in black's camp - so that manoever to g3 ...      Nov-13-25 Aronian vs Carlsen, 2010   kingscrusher: I have a bias to ignore these blindfold games as they are not going to be on full strength - but this one seems particularly instructive.      Nov-12-25 Carlsen vs Jakovenko, 2009   kingscrusher: This seems to be a pretty iconic pawn majority exploiting game with some help from the opponent. Philidor would be proud.      Nov-12-25 Carlsen vs Topalov, 2009    kingscrusher: The h3 move is very much favoured by Stockfish nowadays. [DIAGRAM] It has no name on lichess opening explorer, as compared to say : Be2 - orthodox variation Be3 - Larsen variation Bg5 - Zinnowitz variation Maybe Be2 should be called the "Stockfish variation" In fact the ...      Nov-11-25 Carlsen vs Y Wang, 2009   kingscrusher: 23...Ne4 should help fully equalise for black: [DIAGRAM]      Nov-05-25 Carlsen vs Morozevich, 2006   kingscrusher: I played through this game a few times to get a resuable theme - and I think it is like mining through a diagonal - where you already know there are weaknesses (like a Sink-hole in the ground). "Drill baby Drill" as Trump would say! So the way that the h1-h8 diagonal ...      Nov-03-25 Jobava vs Carlsen, 2005   kingscrusher: Nice positional exchange sacrifice basically forced by White's forceful moves. The position for black seemed much easier to play with that pawn mass. Just "push the pawns" mostly.      Nov-03-25 Carlsen vs G Tallaksen Ostmoe, 2005   kingscrusher: There seems to be two stylistic playing hats in this game - the 1st hat is controlling the center, and hypermodern with double fianchetto. Then things start happening after the rook pivots to h4 - becomes like a Mikhail Tal game. Black needed to play h6 and not c5. The c7 pawn ...      Oct-30-25 T Barendse vs Carlsen, 2004   kingscrusher: I remember British GM Chris Ward commenting that a young Magnus Carlsen had found lots of holes in his book on the Sicilian Dragon. So I am not sure it is so much memory of the Sicilian dragon as tearing apart a book in great detail and scrutiny too, to be able to play it very ...      Oct-30-25 Carlsen vs A Diamant, 2003   kingscrusher: <MissScarlett> I take it to mean no obvious mistakes or key improvements. But it also means the difficulty of the positions is manageable - Magnus choice of opening reduced counterplay making the position not particularly tactically complex. So Magnus is a clever human in

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 16 OF 18 ·  Later Kibitzing> 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?
