It's great that you gave your 1800 opponent well deserved 6:00 credit for her "brilliant" move, which may have worked against anyone under 2000. Perfection ain't easy.
t That is really a great thing to learn: remain calm when you get something unexpected. I'm not very good, my rating is 914, I gained 88 points at a team tournament on 4th board, but lost 5 points at the Minnesota Senior championship tournament. Obviously, I enjoy your videos for beginners.
In the position at 01:33, in keeping with the theme Irina keeps emphasizing concerning prophylaxis, instead of moving a rook to c7, White might simply play Kg2, overprotecting the knight. If Black responds with c3, then Nd4 stops the pawn (if Black continues with c2, White plays Nxc2, and the knight cannot be taken because of the Rxe7 trap Irina mentions later).
I once had a huge crush on you. I followed you on icc. You were with Pascal at the time. I was respectful. You were upset over losing to your opponent being a clock punching primate in sone tournament.. I messaged you on icc and empathized with the loss. You messaged me back and said thank you. We never spoke again. I hope you're doing well..
@PeachyPancakes Are you talking about her Armageddon game against Anna Zatonskih that decided the U.S. Women's Championship? That incident always made me sad, as Krush and Zatonskih are both heroes of U.S. women's chess, as well as former teammates. Hopefully there were no lingering bad feelings between them over the incident.
"We never spoke again". 💀Creepy! You never "spoke" to begin with. She just messaged you "thank you" out of courtesy. Probably just being polite which shows she's a good person. And you interpreted that to be a conversation.?!?! *Face Palm* She doesn't know you!!! You're just another random person on the internet. Please, go outside and talk to real women/girls if you're lonely. Idolizing someone on the internet to the point you remember something they messaged you decades ago is not just wrong, it's unhealthy.
decently high-level calculations that make me long for otb chess just so so so much-

Gracias ..🙏
Irina Krush for President. I don't care what her politics are. Also, I love the videos!
Thanks Irina, I really enjoyed that. It is such a good lesson
I just created 1/10,000th of your next leather jacket.

You couldn't have lost to a brilliant queen sacrifice because you're the most brilliant queen. Big love, Irina ❤

What a beautiful woman is Irina. Her eyes omg...
Great cover photo -> Good look and strong attitude plus a bit of a moody cinematic touch to it📸😍
It was a brilliant queen sacrifice, but easier to spot in comparison to the "brillianter" Kg1 😁
What’s the answer to the puzzle from the last video?

Nice game!
Nice ushanka 😂
Wow! I had no idea this one had a youtube channel.
Irina, thank you! So interesting. It is important when a player shares thoughts that come during the game
