Chess World.net presents: FIDE Tournament Performances 2009 - Kingscrusher

kingscrusher, there's a chessbase article on the London Classic Open tournament, and you appear to be in the background, wearing a red shirt, of a photo of Mark Hebden :P

If you play lower ranked players, then you have everything to lose and little to gain if you win. By getting draws and odd wins against masters, you gain points- as you did in the british champs.

[kingscrusher]

Yes it is good to have the chance to take out higher rated players. Due to the accelerated pairing used at Gibraltar, and not starting off too well, I only played one titled play there. Compared to 7 (!) in the London Classic.

[realpolitik77]

I sincerely wish you luck and hope for the best results in the future, you deserve a title

[ComtedeMonteC]

Hope that KC attains AT LEAST the FM title soon. Perhaps KC does not play in enough FIDE tournaments and does not gain enough  practice in such tournaments.

[jewbinson]

Keep it up, KC. Hopefully you'll become an FM soon

[Nola213]

2300? ouch, BUT I think you can manage that over this next year for sure KC!!!

Good Luck!!

[Nola213]

So what is the qualifications for an FM title. Because I think you very well deserve one KC.

Did you not play enough tournaments, or was your rating not high enough? I guess I could Wiki it, and see what it takes to become an FM.

Still I don't see how you aren't an FM, you beat FM's and IM's on a consistant basis.

If they took into account all the people you've gotten interested in Chess by your you tube videos, you'd be a Grand Master, imo.

Cheers KC!!!

a certain rating and maybe good results in certain tournaments

[jeff081692]

just need a 2300 Fide rating i think.

[pbrynild]

-2.13 times 10, that should be fairly easy to calculate. ;-) Good luck in tournaments next year!

[Liguzh]

what's the difference between a FM and an IM???

[SrbijaDavidp]

IM (international master) is a higher rank then FM (FIDE master)

[donlaw71]

your great guy.

[usethe23]

i hope you will be an IM for this new year =)

and a GM for 2011 =P

thanks for all your great videos

[KalkiAwaits]

Kc, Who is your favorite chess player? I've learned a lot from watching your games, thanks for sharing.

[rulo0801]

next year you'll be even better Tryfon!

you deserve so much to get a title!

GO KC!!

[mightybazooka]

congratulations on london though,

5 IMs and 2 FMs in the 9 rounds,

how high do you think your rating can go, well into the 23/400s would be nice :)
