It's a high quality correspondence chess website with many players from beginners to grandmasters.
About Me:
 
I believe that my five minute chess with "live commentary " videos have never been done before on Youtube or elsewhere in Chess History to such a massive scale, and against such strong average opposition. I am playing these 5-minute games on one of the toughest real time chess servers available and within that, on the toughest pairing system available called the "Autopairing" system where you cannot choose your own opponents. And I am doing the commentary "live" - whilst playing these games, so you can see the thought processes as they emerge, for all their warts and all - unlike any annotated game book, etc, where the annotations are often "sterilised" and do not reflect the reality of making mistakes in thinking, etc. The maximum ratings on this for even GM's is barely over 2600, so rating inflation is kept minimal by the fact you can't choose opponents. On here I have played against FM's IM's GM's WGM's, etc. I believe live commentary offers very instructive resources covering a wide variety of ideas, openings, etc.

British Regional Master - Achieved a standard play "A" grade of at least 180 in two consecutive seasons on ECF official grading lists.

Please follow me on Twitter - twitter.com/kingscrusher to make sure you get updates on new videos and also ideas for videos.

As of August 2009 Rapid play list, I am ECF 209, which puts me in the Top 100 in the country for the top Rapid play chess players!

My name is Tryfon Gavriel, my English Chess Federation Rating (ECF) is about 180-190 usually.

Fide Rating: usually over 2100

British Championship Qualifier for 2008, by coming 2nd= at the Southend Open with a rating performance of ECF 206.

2009 Muswell Hill 5 minute chess champion! I mention this because I plan on doing quite a few 5 minute chess videos with live commentary! :)

2009 2nd= with IM Trent in North London Blitz chess tournament, defeating Russian GM Chernaiv in final round with black pieces, but losing 2nd game on time from winning position throughout most of the game!

Is there no way to search your videos by title now... I wanted to look at a game with the grand prix attack but I don't see a search window anywhere on your page anymore.

I completely agree with what people are saying about you getting psyched out against GMs and the like. In Blitz #470, you play perfectly well, great instincts as usual. Its a shame you didnt spot 16.dxe5, following through with your idea of the Queen about to go to B3, with some initiative. But the GM doesnt punish it and youre fine all the way to move 24 at 3:18 where you say This is ending so bad. But Rybka had you -.41 at d=20. After 27...Ne4 Rybka has you *perfectly even* at depth=21 though you seem worried that you're crushed. Unfortunately you next play a series of unrecommended moves, maybe a combination of time trouble, being psyched out, and maybe a weaker end game, and lose. --Don't let yourself get psyched out! :)

Hi Kingscrusher. Its good that you are now alternating between blitz and over the board games, because both are instructive and fun to watch. Do you know any recent games with original openings? Like that game of Carlsen where he used an original variation of the scotish opening? I always find games like that very refreshing

Kingscrusher, it's nice that you now have the Regional Master title, but you should apply for the YouTube Blitzmaster and Halloween Gambiteer titles, too!
