The video has been seen by many real TDs. Anna moved on her time and Krush, (not her real name) knocked pieces over without restoring them. This is illegal and unethical. She made a fool of herself and no amount of bootlickers can change that.
In the event you refer to, Annas clock tactics and the format for the entire game itself were both in clear violation of the Rules of Chess, as managed by an uncertified TD who was too oblivious to know it was his right and his duty to intervene regarding the former. Irina was a good sport that she did not reach over at Anna and slap her. I would have. When will anyone in the chess community get real and show any sense for competitive integrity regarding that debacle?
@jdavidcole64 Having watched the entire blitz game between Zatonskih and Krush several times I can say with confidence that Irina was actually the person who broke the rules in that time scramble. With only a few seconds remaining Irina knocked over her rook on the back rank and only managed to return it to it's standing positions after pressing the clock. Anna made the right choice by ignoring this and continuing to move the piece nearest to the clock.
She is humble and that only means greatness. Very nice!!

I saw Krush beat Kaidanov in a blindfold blitz game live (in Cincinnati [2008 I think]), that was pretty impressive. She's definitely a tough player.

She is a bad loser. She throw the King outside the board against Anna Zatonskih in the final US championship match, that was a bad attitude.

@joestl314 EPIC FAIL!!! - You watched it several times, and hallucinated a rook on Irina's back rank that gets knocked down and picked back up? LOL!!

Yes, but it was funny.

That's because Anna Zatonskih was moving pieces AT THE SAME TIME as Krush. Anna was playing horribly.
