Krush's 3 Keys of Chess: Time, Space and Harmony
The true nature of chess isn’t easy to pin down. It’s clearly more than pawn structure, knight outposts and King safety, important as those elements are.
GM Irina Krush has identified 3 key qualities of the game of chess that comprise every other aspect you can imagine. If you master these, then you will notice immediately that it's very easy to evaluate any position!
As she states, time, space and harmony as the real deciding factors in the outcome of a game.
Irina decided to share her knowledge in her course Time, Space and Harmony - The Krush Method, an ambitious course to improve your general understanding of every position. Nothing more, nothing less!
In this FREE PREVIEW of this terrific course, you will be introduced into the real secrets of chess.
With practical examples, extracted from her student's games, Irina will make you easy to understand this critical knowledge. Then, she starts deepening them in the rest of course.
See, for example, the last game of this video, after explaining the basic concepts. Krush 3 Keys
In this famous position from a Tal's game it's easy to see that White's position is crushing. Why? Because White's pieces are harmoniously placed, all of them playing important roles on the center. Instead, Black's pieces are almost all in their initial squares!
Also, White has more time and space (only need to see how many squares control White's pieces).
So, White has the advantage in the 3 key qualities! Remember: material it's not as important as these!
Tal materialized his winning advantage with his typical flashy style: 13.Qd6!! Qxc3 14.Red1! Nd7 15.Bxf7+! Kxf7 16.Ng5+ Ke8 17.Qe6+ 1-0
If you want to really understand what happened in the game (with all the necessary variations), then don't forget to see this invaluable free preview.
And, if you want to understand every chess position that you came across, then the course Time, Space and Harmony - The Krush Method is all you need. Click www.ichess.net/sale/time-spac... to get it and start improving your own play.
Mastering each of these qualities is what this course is all about. And these are what chess is all about!

Precise,to the point,extraordinary analysis by GM Krush.Thanks for improving my chess.

[@shadeburst]

Although I have severe hearing loss and don't understand American accents at all well, I can hear you perfectly thanks to your clear voice and excellent diction. Whenever the opponent presents me with a sticky choice, I think back on your principles, instead of trying something brave that Judit Polgar or Irina Krush might get away with, but I won't!

[@DrSergioValdez]

Dear Grand Master Irina Krush please reintroduce this video to the Chess online community...I found it while searching for your videos on the four things to look at on each move...Thank you for your videos...they are Awesome

[@kevingallagher3742]

Outstanding. Who could dislike this ?!

[@liilianalopez1155]

Loved her commentary on one of the last tournaments I saw. Looking forward to this video

[@RealityCheck1]

Time, space, piece coordination (harmony) to be specific.

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

Grandmaster Krush reminds me so much in her Lecture Style of Dr. Kristen Ross and Dr. Ronell, of the French and German Departments, respectively, at NYU. I wonder if we'll soon see a Lecteur who recalls the style of Derrida or Lacan? You know, Professor Kripke should teach Chess....

[@chessassassin2813]

Thanks for this post. You have given me inspiration for my next KZbin video. Please, keep posting.

[@ChesscomGames]

You're welcome!

[@5zazen]

Each move was explained from different angles and related to the 3 themes. The material takes a while to utilize. This instruction is better than the standard lecture where a move is made and given surface level explanation. It may seem a bit much for players who don't examine what each move means for space, tempo, attack/defense, position, and yet each move impacts all of this.

[@ChesscomGames]

Thanks for your words, we certainly try to do well-explained and diactic courses so that players can learn in the right way.

[@devildan58]

Excellent ! Hope to see more like this in the future

[@ChesscomGames]

Sure, Thanks!

[@danno1800]

Thanks for this wonderful chess lesson!

[@msameer75]

It is a unique chess principle, and a very good lesson by Irina ..

[@conservator6734]

Time, space and harmony are very important elements in this game! It was emphasized very good in this video with Irina. I never thought the one element as harmony that way before in such a powerful way but looked at it simply as time and/or tempo. With harmony now in the light I can focus on that discerning time and harmony...I plan on buying the Master Method series...thank you!

[@ChesscomGames]

daniel andrzejewski Thank you for your comment. It's always a pleasure to receive good reviews. I am happy to see you enjoyed the course.

[@shadeburst]

I call it Whole Board Vision. I am starting to expand my tunnel vision from the local situation. At this stage my goal is to make fewer bad moves and, with luck, no blunders that lose a piece. Irina Krush emphasizes managing a clean workspace with everything in its place and working together. This easily compensates when the opponent makes a brilliant sacrifice but you mop it up and carry on with your work.

[@user-fr3md1st1o]

Hello, at 32:42: after White has played Bxa8, could it be better for Black to reply by ... Knight c2 (instead of ... Rxa8 taking the white bishop) ? Thanks a lot to Mrs. Krush for her time and inspiring explanations.

[@stollenstrolch]

Very good lesson and presentation.

[@ChesscomGames]

Thank you for your words, we are glad you liked it.

[@f7_mongoose464]

This video is very helpful. I learned about the element of space, time and harmony from other experience players, but after watching this video, I understand it better. Thank you for explaining the game strategy.

[@ChesscomGames]

Glad you liked it and we hope to hear from you soon! ✌

[@justsomeboyprobablydressed9579]

Irina Krush makes me feel like a blind man who can suddenly see.

[@PeterSodhi]

Her video in the O'Kelly is great as well

[@dangelvette2519]

This is actually one of the best I've ever seen a chess and funny enough one player I've played actually played what are the same openings presented here I know I was able to get a really strong position out of the opening

[@lionsskyblue442]

great, thanks

[@pankajnegi2397]

Nice

[@paulmitchell5349]

What is chess? It is a contest where one player tries to show they can outwit the opponent in a 2 dimensional plane.

[@rickystevano]

its talk about alekhhine defence? so Bxf3 is good or not?

[@ChesscomGames]

Yes is Alekhine Defence, in waht minute? normally is not good play Bxf3 in the game.

[@firstlast2157]

A rule of thumb is that you can almost never go for ...Bxf3 tricks before castling. Something almost always goes wrong when you do lol. One exception is 1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.Nf3 dxe5 5.dxe5 Bg4 6.h3 Bxf3 7.Qxf3 but even here Black has to be ready for some complications.

[@levischess7212]

Alekhine 1.e4-Nf6 2.e5-Ne4!? I always use this line when using the Alekhine Defense but I most use this than the modern Alekhine .... I most often use this when Blitz 3m+2 mostly white has a cramp position

[@ayazshaik1325]

Plz make next time pin chess game videos

[@ChesscomGames]

Check out this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2iXY5SXe5l1lZY 🤓

[@john-rn3yj]

keep it simple bobby fisher was right when he said chess isn't fun anymore. now fisher random is fun gets rid of a lot of the openings.

[@ldeans5620]

I know it's hard to maintain eye contact with a camera lens, but it's worth the effort.

[@giovannidepetris6335]

first five minutes "skippable"

[@renehenriksen1735]

I wonder if she gets a lot of marriage-offers after this.......

[@SuperCrapLazy123]

I am not impressed by this. Everyone is quite aware of principles but they need guidance on how to to find the right moves and to improve calculation. This is not I was looking for, I liked the ones by Anna Rudolf and Daniel Naroditsky.

[@mischatal]

What is the target audience for such a video? Too conversational, and dropping concepts as givens to explain a much more basic concept seems odd.

[@YankeesHiro]

Feel like this is advanced players, in the range of 1500-1800. I can be wrong though.

[@ChesscomGames]

This first chapter summarizes a lot of the key points about time space and harmony that are explained in much more detail in the full 9 hour course, its impossible to fit it all in 1 hour. All our courses including this one are aimed for club players 1400-1900 level unless specifically mentioned as "beginner" or "advanced" in the title. Our youtube channel and shop cater more towards club level and advanced players.
