The biggest mistake in a chess game

[@cerievans4099]

I was lucky enough to participate in a team game with Irina (following after the Kasparov - World game) and she was just so easy-going and charming, as well as VERY good at chess.

[@diogosilva2475]

Irina, I just love your videos. Simple and objective videos anyone can understand. Thanks for your hard and intelligent work.

[@rebuznardo]

Very refreshing to see a serious, excellent, and talented female player into the chess-streaming ecosystem. Learning from you, Irina. Thanks a lot! Greetings from Colombia (not Columbia!)

[@KDlearns]

The cars were honking at the chess mistakes! Thanks for the quick lesson!

Yes. Napoleon"s best known quote: "Never interrupt an enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself." Conspicuous by its absence is an intriguing general one, which I have committed on several occasions: Kh2 in the middle-game. Of course, I always had a reason for such a move, but.... My opponent wants to get his pieces closer to my King, but must advance them one at a time. Brave King-up brings ALL of his pieces closer at a single stroke! (I think I can hear a sound, like a distant car honking, but it must be Napoleon laughing...)

[@jimmccann3856]

Oh ya, I almost forgot... Manish Singh"s observation (below) is insightful, so here is a video idea: An Irina Krush blitz round, like on one of those old TV game shows. Position comes up, she says RxR, good or bad, and why? Next, next, next...

[@aidendoesstuff185]

Absolutely based

[@klutch2993]

This video was super helpful. This is a great topic for intermediate level players, which are most chess players.

[@briandwi2504]

Deliciously calm and thoughtful.

[@TheSimple1z]

All comes together...Thank you..💜

[@davidbennett9543]

Thank you for your simple and concise instruction using actual examples. Very helpful. Many of the other channels, I believe, intend to give concrete instructions but they unfortunately become abstract and theoretical very quickly. Thanks again.

[@carl8318]

I kept looking around because I thought the car honking was over here!😂

[@Mentalconditioningcoach]

Big fan of your content, keep it up!

Your chess instruction is invaluable. Your focus on piece activity has brought together for me a unifying concept that makes sense of positional play, which used to be a mystifying mix of principles. Thank you, GM Krush.

[@franktaggart-qs5ff]

Thank you for the insight

[@johanswart5562]

Very instructive...enjoyed that👍👋

[@jimmmyz169]

So great and valuable that I can see why other channels don't really talk about it as it feels like free coaching! Subbing hoping you can grow on youtube but hoping you could rethink the leather purchasing goals you mentioned in another video 😿🙏

[@cesarjunqueira7289]

Very instructive. Thanks

[@capitannemo11]

Thanks for the lesson!

[@mshparber]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@kevinmalone3210]

After playing thousands of chess games online, starting with a low rating of around 1000, it finally started to sink in the importance of not helping your opponent by making making moves that improves their position.

[@binks3371]

at one point I went outside to see who is honking

[@Pacodelahoya1]

Big fan....irina is an awesome speaker

[@giovannidepetris6335]

Thank you fantastic teaching

[@feliou]

This channel is so good. You are a legend

[@generalbrowser680]

Yep, these are the mistakes I make here and there. I have to recognize potential sacrifices that can be made to open my King up.

[@emregeylani]

Very helpful tips Irina, thank you for sharing your insights.

[@thomasstephenson4043]

excellent videos!!! and excellent hair!!!

[@derekrios8691]

Love the content and good work today in the American cup

[@sinan4833]

Great video thank you!

[@ManishSingh-bq2un]

These positional ideas of trading correct pieces is not that intuitive. Thanks to Irina I am slowly learning them and implementing in my games 😊

[@user-gn9fe3zi6s]

I needed this thank you. Can you make more content to help reach 2000 rating for 1700 players please 🙏

[@skdh228]

Im 850 in blitz 1100 in rapid when I saw this video today. I think this helped me improve a lot. We will see

[@z0uLess]

Why is it that, when I play pretty accurate games, the one move that I like the most is the one that the computer did not like?

[@GBGDANZA]

Board's Head; thanks for your new approach to teach something of new in this world. Perhaps a day how the variant "960" wil be changing the board's head between King and Queen with the same rules, but of course in reverse way................... If you could make some lessons from scratch starting with the best opening till the strongest strategies to check mate...

[@juanignaciomartinez9628]

I always make these mistakes :( Thanks for the advice!!

[@ritikrai4607]

Great lesson❤

[@drumcircler]

I am guilty of helping the other side on a frequent basis. This lesson will help.

[@cutekitten9856]

Quality content right here.

[@guyscounter]

You're the most beautiful streamer for me!

[@cristianocastro6361]

I think your hairstyles are beautiful.

[@alexf0101]

[@rickymccoshen5462]

Great video again thanks

[@MS-pd2yo]

Very helpful, Irina

[@madhavsanap6690]

She is not even using her GM title. Swag 😎

[@Zakdayak]

WOW, great Chess Font! Is this from Lichess?

[@rogerpaul8918]

Lile your videos & personality .. I like to play the Petroff defence but have become very afraid of the Cochrane gambit --- would you be able to cover this ?!

[@ganeshpillai7545]

She is the best teacher

[@italomiranda5580]

Irina I have a Krush on you. Amazing voice

[@Utuber-h5l]

Your beautiful curly shaggy hair crushes my attention from the content.

[@joshualagatta6343]

You say your student do you do private lessons if so I would be seriously interested

[@Leo-z1o5v]

hairs are amazing.

[@fun2222]

So sexy

[@toasterdestodes8034]

Honk if you are helpful.

[@cerberusarvizu3924]

Am I considered intermediate at 1800 ELO? Can someone assist me with an answer? By the way, Irina is amazing.

[@MrRogal00]

Yes, I'd say so. 1800 ELO is pretty strong. (Except if it's Lichess. :D)

[@vinay6800]

@irina_krush Please continue to create more videos. Excellent content with a very clear explanation!

[@chessisbest]

yay Irena! 😊

[@eugenvladeugen1309]

10x !

[@jorymil]

"Trade pieces when you're up material" seems reasonable when you're up at least a piece, or perhaps have multiple passed pawns and can reach a known-winning endgame position. But if you're just up a pawn and are nowhere close to an endgame, the rule of thumb really doesn't apply.
