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.

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! :)
2010: Held on to title with another clean sweep in the Club championship 5-minute tournament!
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!
2010 2nd= again in North London blitz chess tournament along with my good friend Costas Karayannis and Wood Green player Hasman, Cengiz. We all three also got the title of North Circular League Blitz Champion, as Paul Georghiou is not an active NCCL player. Paul came 1st.
2010 - ECF Grade 199 - my peak ECF grade ever! Class A - meaning a lot of games as well!
