http://www.uschesschamps.com brings you live coverage of the US Chess Championship. Today's video diary feature IM Irina Krush. Irina has put in a very strong perfomance and talks to the ICC's John Henderson about her game, Saint Louis, club founder Rex Sinquefield and much more. Irina could potentially move one step closer toward the title of Grand Master, with currently less than 1% of the world's title holders being female this is a significant feat. Good Luck Irina!
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.

@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!!

@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.
