[@woodstoney]

Seems like a well grounded, intelligent, thoughtful person to compliment her current credentials.

[@enginekid88]

Irina has a great voice and a natural beauty.

[@Augalv]

She has a natural beauty indeed

[@paullillebo3969]

+enginekid88 Her games have a natural beauty.

[@Gadzinisko]

Kirsan and Kasparow should play a game of chess and the winner should be named the president :D

[@mcawesome4150]

Kirsan learned playing chess from aliens. So I think he would win.

[@spicyfrank1]

Kasparov retired dude...

[@Gadzinisko]

ironfallout And Kirsan never really started, your point?

[@mcawesome4150]

ironfallout Get out of my gene pool.

[@vmmcmc]

Really nice interview, interesting character Irina. Well done Daniel =)

[@DirkSchmele]

Good interviews ... Looking forward to the next one. THX!

[@Caigga900]

Perfect interview

[@حميدالسكري]

she is very smart and beuitiful too

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

Attractive and amiable gal, nice interview.

[@MasterMyrddin]

Sir King deserves a medal for this interview.

[@stflaw]

U.S. women's chess has advanced so much since I started playing tournament chess in the 70s.

[@jeffwads]

Great interview.

[@Augalv]

I love Irina

[@davepangburn]

Thank you again for your interviews Mr. King. For almost all your Power Play Chess vids, I post them in the chess group I belong too on facebook for the other members to see. One bit of unsolicited life advice, though, Mr. King...never ask a lady her age, LOL. They can get annoyed by that, hahaha.

[@jasondoe2596]

Why should they? ;-)

[@valentijnraw]

Jason Doe its common courtesy

[@jasondoe2596]

valentijnraw It is common, indeed; it is also a relic of past discriminations (positive or negative, depending on one's perspective) - and getting insulted by that would be quite immature, IMO. I *do* get what you are saying. It's a question I avoid asking myself, *independently* of gender. But I don't take interviews ;) Anyway, let's not linger on that - I thought it was obvious that the question in my previous comment was rhetorical.

[@illmaculatechess]

i think the rule about asking a girl her age doesnt apply if said girl is young and pretty. yea irina aint a teenager anymore but shes still youthful

[@bhunts4]

Beautiful

[@adriananewsum760]

Just need to say, we love "A quick chat with"

[@burt591]

I like the way she talks, in general chess players are pretty bad at talking.

[@dannytorrance4024]

Because not all of them are native English speakers.

[@notnavonnam]

could anybody elaborate on daniel's final question to the players? i'm asuming "gary" is Gary Kasparov, but who is the other and what is the significance of the question? sounds like it has to do with politics and is it related to this tournament, the city of tromsø etc? thx

[@theinstigatorr]

Wow such an attractive woman. She's really the full package

[@alligatorar]

if she said im 20 i would have believed her

[@ex0duzz]

She's very well spoken.. and also seems pretty fun and confident. My type of personality.. so yeah, she's cute! keke

[@BboyDschafar]

I have a krush now.

[@adamc5478]

Why does she still have an accent?

[@miladibrahim1068]

Adam C because one of her parent is Ukrainian

[@TexasSizzle]

I love you Irena! You are awesome. I love you too Danny, but in a different way! lol, haha! ^__^

[@cammus]

I have a Krush from her...

[@alexandeon]

Still part of Ukraine

[@mcpartridgeboy]

Beauty and a brain, GM King makes a great presenter, Irena was nice too ! sorry im sick of everyone saying irena is beautiful my King is good looking too so im evening the balance !!!!

[@UselessGTAV]

KRUSHED

[@yedidsion8013]

Beauty and brain, that is frightening

[@jasondoe2596]

...Not to mention, she's been "Krush-ing" chess opponents left and right. I swear, some people are blessed with everything, beauty, wits, talent, even suitable surnames ;-) She likes photography (I do, too!). It makes you wonder how much of a "visual person" she is and whether it helps her ability to visualise the board. Who knows, maybe there is a greater percentage of photographers among chess Grandmasters than among the general population. If anyone is interested in her (very nice) chess lectures, there are some delivered to a live audience at the Saint Louis Chess Club; check out their youtube channel. P.S. Great coverage and interviews by GM King, just as expected - thanks!

[@PieterDave]

A russian moved to brooklyn...and became a chess Grand Master. Sounds Familiar. Hmmm.

[@DeathRattlingWhore]

God, I'm having a krush on her!

[@ChomskyHonkable]

Irina

[@Neura1net]

How apealing

[@BboyDschafar]

I guess, her opponents got krushed...

[@kakashi76767]

no they got shit on

[@amaury5982]

2024: still part of Ukraine. for now.
