As well as watching my videos, you may also like to try correspondence style chess with a web interface. You can do so at www.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.
Apparently Lenox Lewis lives near me, and he has an interest in chess as well as being a great boxer.
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:-
http://www.gtryfon.demon.co.uk/bcc/...
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! :-))))

   May-09-13 Gligoric vs Fischer, 1992

kingscrusher: In the final position White is better here with Nxb5 and if c3 then Nxc3. Someone mentioned a typo error earlier which may explain it.

   May-07-13 jessicafischerqueen chessforum

kingscrusher: Hi Jessica For some reason I have gone a bit Fischer nuts recently, and my last few videos feature Fischer games. I have used the Chessgames.com opening explorer to simulate the top moves of Fischer vs the top moves of Kasparov to create an opening simulation. There follows ...

   May-06-13 Robson vs J Bryant, 2013

kingscrusher: Ouch !!

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.

Dec-29-12		Tiggler: <kingcrusher> Thanks for your video of World v Akobian. You did a great job. To have brought it out so fast after the conclusion of the game, I guess you must have been following its progress. Were you signed on as a member of World Team, to see the ongoing analysis and arguments?

Dec-31-12		Annie K.: Happy New Year, <Tryfon>! :)

Jan-01-13		cormier: Happy New Year ... tks G

Jan-04-13		jessicafischerqueen: Happy New Year to you too <Tryfon>!

Jan-06-13		jessicafischerqueen: <Tryfon> here is <Sultan Khan> playlist: "Kingscrusher annotates brilliancies from the Indian Master Mir Sultan Khan, who appeared on the British chess scene in the 1930s and astonished the world by racking up several British Championships and beating world class opposition, notably JR Capablanca, Saloman Flohr, Akiva Rubinstein, and many others." http://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Jan-12-13		kingscrusher: Thanks Jessica - I will start putting that link on his games. Cheers, K

Jan-16-13		ShahMaat: ....i learned this game at the tender age of nine.Now i am 66..following these great gm's...i feel like a chicken looking up at circling hawks in the blue heavens.

Jan-16-13		Xaurus: kingscrusher, TCEC is back! Should start within a week or so. http://www.tcec-chess.net

Jan-17-13		morfishine: Hello <kingscrusher>! Excellent video on Aronian vs Anand 2013. You mentioned 13.Bxh7+ as an alternative for White. I concur and feel this move is superior to 13.Nxh7. Here are my thoughts on this move posted at the game: Aronian vs Anand, 2013 Note: Engine-testing is needed for final confirmation Best, Morf

Feb-20-13		notyetagm: <Kingcrusher: ... With your permission please may I use other examples from your loose piece collection in other future videos?!> But of course. Use anything from my game collections that you find useful.

Feb-21-13		kingscrusher: <notyetagm:> Thank you so much - there are some members like yourself with a truly amazing and awesome collection of game collections - these really help bring key examples to themes, or provide context to things like Tournaments - thank you so much. Cheers, K

Feb-21-13		notyetagm: B Amin vs A Muir, 2013 <frogbert: yeah, i missed 16. Nxe5! when i made my premature comment on 14. f5 tactics are tricky! you need to get both the idea and the right move order... ;o)> A fantastic explanation of the tactical oversight made by GM Amin can be found here -> http://www.chessscotland.com/forum/....
