International Master Irina Krush US Women’s Champion, Pan Am Youth Champion and 2-time Olympian. International Master Irina Krush was born on December 24, 1983 in Odessa, Ukraine. Her family immigrated to the New York City from Odessa just before she was 5 years old. It was her father who introduced her to the game of chess. Irina has accomplished a lot already even at such a young age. She convincingly won the prestigious 1998 US Women's Championship. In 2000, Irina became the first American Woman to earn the International Master title. In January 2003, Irina tied for first among women at the US Championship in Seattle. Irina was one of the key World Team coaches in the Kasparov versus the World match on Microsoft Network. Irina has also represented the United States in the FIDE World Junior Championship for Girls and at the Pan American Youth Games. Irina won the bronze medal in 1998 and tied for first in 1999 at the World Junior Championship for Girls. She was the Gold Medallist in the 1998 Pan-American Youth Championships in Brazil with a perfect score of 7-0.

World News Reaction to Kasparov vs. World Game Chess News Kasparov-World Game July 31, 1999 FIDE World Championship
  • October 18, 1999. ChessLab.com. Kasparov vs. World match wraps up with a horrible fiasco with Microsoft losing a move suggestion by I. Krush (?). Reuters, Yahoo,world wide media now hot on the story, fraud charged. Jude Acers/ChessLab believes that Kasparov's victory was richly earned he hung in the there grimly, kept the game alive period. The World's move 58...Qe4 suggested by E. Bacrot was listed as losing in all variations given on October 10-th by FIDE champion Khalifman and Grandmaster Chess School. It appeared full one week before the World was led astray by French grandmaster and national champion E. Bacrot. Bacrot's suggestion lost outright immediately at 2:04 AM EST Friday October 15, 1999. October 20, 1999 http://www.gmchess.spb.ru/english/kasworld/sici119.html "GM Chess School gives NO recommendations to the world, as our opinion is that after 58...Qe4 59.Qg1+ White wins in all lines. A pity. the World did not follow our recommendations and did not manage to find a path to the draw in the jungle of lines after the 58th move. Almost 45% of the team members considered the recommendations of GM School (58...Qf5) but the majority has chosen 58...Qe4. One could say-what's the difference where to move the queen to f5 or e4? Unfortunately there is the difference and it is a substantial difference. The correct 58...Qf5 ! could have resulted in a complicated game where a draw was the most probable result, and the "natural" 58...Qe4 (according to MS Zone expert Bacrot) is a final and complete disaster for Black."

    Irina Krush A review of 15-year-old Irina Krush’s chess victories and achievements would fill several pages. Born in Odessa, Ukraine, she became the youngest woman ever to compete in the U.S. Women’s Chess Championship at age 11, and won that event in 1998. A Chess Master at age 12, Irina is now the No. 1 woman chess player in the U.S., with FIDE rating 2375 and USCF 2448. She is the No. 1 Junior player under 18 in the U.S. and No. 2 Junior under 21. We are delighted to have Irina as one of our Chess Analysts in this event.
    Irina was the Gold Medalist in the 1998 Pan-American Youth Championships in Brazil with a score of 7-0. Her other achievements last year included the Bronze Medal in the FIDE Girls World Championship in Calcutta and the top score in the FIDE Women’s Olympiad in Russia. In January 1999, she won first place in the New York City High School Championship. Irina is making her mark in every corner of the world.
    This summer, Irina will play at the World Open in Philadelphia, Chess Superstore’s “Krush Challenge" in New Jersey, the Kingsport Fun Fest in Tennessee and the U.S. Junior Championship in San Francisco. September will find her at the Women’s World Championship in Moldavia. With relentless vigor, she tackles every opportunity she can cram into her schedule, and performs astoundingly well at all of them. Irina is clearly headed for a dominant role in the world of chess.

    KRUSH TAKES BRONZE MEDAL IN INDIA
    Irina Krush, the reigning U.S. Women's Champion, continued her string of tournament successes with a medal-winning performance at the 1998 FIDE World Junior Championship, held November 17 through December 1 in Calicut, India. Krush, 14, of Brooklyn, N.Y., posted an impressive score of 9 out of 13 points to win the bronze medal in the women's division. WGM Hoang Thanh Trang, of Vietnam, won first place and the gold medal with 10 1/2 points. A total of 39 players competed in the event. Dean Ippolito, 20, of Boonton Township, N.J., scored 6 1/2 points in the men's division to finish in the middle of the field of 70 players. GM Darmen Sadvakasov, of Kazakhstan, won the gold medal with 10 1/2 points. Both Krush and Ippolito received travel stipends courtesy of the U.S. Chess Federation. The U.S. team coach was GM Gennady Sagalchik. In the following game, White's position improves greatly after her opponent inexplicably decides to suffocate her own Bishop after 10. ... e5?! The freeing move d6-d5 never materializes.

    U.S. Championships 2003
    January 9 - 29, 2003 Exclusive! Correspondent Jim Perry's interview with Irina Krush, from the 2003 U.S. Chess Championships. IRINA KRUSH
    [Editor's note: this interview was recorded following the completion of the final round of the tournament, but prior to the 3-way playoff involving Anna Hahn, Jennifer Shahade, and Irina Krush.] JFP: You became very strong at chess very early in life. When you were 14 years old, you were rated about 2400 . . . Irina Krush: Yes, right, in fact I was even over 2400. JFP: How did you manage to combine an active chess life with your schooling? JFP: And now? Irina Krush: Now, I go to New York University. I just started my first semester and I don't know yet what I'm going to major in. I'm just taking some required classes, some electives. JFP: In the background information which the Foundation [America's Foundation for Chess] supplied those of us in the press, it says (in reference to yourself) "she is confident that her best achievements in chess are yet to come". But about 4 years ago you were rated 2400 and your current rating is about the same. Have you hit a flat spot in your development as a chessplayer? Irina Krush: Well, the thing is about my FIDE rating, at 15 my highest rating was 2432 and right now it's 2433. It has been much less than that. I've had some bad times. At one point, I went from 2432 to 2354. Then, it gradually rose up again. But the first thing I want to say is that when I first hit the rating 2432, I was actually a bit overrated. I don't think I was quite that strong at that time. My rating right now is very solid. Whatever it is, I'm definitely not overrated. I was definitely weaker back then than I am now. I had just a lot less knowledge about chess. I'm not oblivious to the fact that my rating is essentially the same now as it was 4 years ago. It's not because I haven't improved in the chess sense. I have other things going on, but actually I feel like right now is the time when I can improve a lot and my rating can go up. The past is just the past - you get experience, you grow as a person and then your rating gets higher.

    CHESS GODDESSES Women in Chess A well-played chess game, like a beautiful woman, is music to the soul. IM Irina Krush, Chess Goddess Introduction: At sixteen, Irina is the highest ranking female player in the United States. While she is working her way up the rank and file, she may not, perhaps, get as much publicity as Judit Polgar and other more mature chess goddesses, but I can't help but think Irina's day will come, perhaps sooner than some think! Irina competes in both "mixed" and "women only" events. She recently played in the 2000 World Cup (Women's) event, where she had a rather disappointing showing but gained much valuable experience. Earlier in the summer of 2000, she successfully completed her third IM norm in a mixed event. Irina has been invited to play in the 2000 World Championship (Women's) and has confirmed her acceptance. Irina is probably most well known on the world scene for her recent participation as part of the "World Team" who played against GM Garry Kasparov under the auspices of Microsoft. Her conduct throughout a difficult and embarrassing situation surrounding the end of the match was exemplary, demonstrating that she is a role model all chessplayers can strive to emulate, whether female or male.

    US Championships Seattle 2003. Women's Playoff

    Press Release by John Henderson 2003 AF4C US Chess Championships, 9-18 January Northwest Rooms, Seattle. AF4C US WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYOFF 19th January 2002 In a fairytale ending to decide the 2003 Af4C US Women's Champion, underdog Anna Hahn, from Jersey City, N.J, caused a major chess upset in the three-way playoff for the crown by beating former champions Jennifer Shahade and Irina Krush. Scoring back to back wins against the two top US women players gave Hahn both the title and the record first prize of $12,500. For Hahn, 26, who was seeded No.6 for the women's crown at the start of the Championship, the final result proved to be the biggest win of her career - and one that shocked many of the commentators and spectators in the playing hall. Biographical details of Anna Hahn, 2003 AF4C US Women's Champion Women's International Master Anna Hahn was born in Riga, Latvia June 21, 1976 and currently resides in Jersey City, N.J. As a child she used to watch her father and grandfather play chess and when she was seven years old her grandfather decided to take her to the local chess club. Her best chess achievements include the Latvian Women's Champion in 1992 and, after moving to the U.S., tying for second place in the World Girl's Championship in 1993. Anna earned her Women's international master title in 1995. In 2000 Anna participated in the chess Olympiad in Turkey, and the women's world championship in India.

This beautifully placed knight now becomes the lynchpin for White's game.] [Another nice touch. The bishop wasn't going to have much of a life on g2, so Krush places it where it can be of more use.]

    THE EVER-CHANGING,
    NEVER-ENDING QUESTION
    THE HINDU
    FEBRUARY 19, 2000 "NEGLECTED WORLD OF WOMEN'S CHESS"
    IN A country which saw its first Grandmaster in 1987, the wait for the first Woman Grandmaster still continues. It is not that there is dearth of talent to don the mantle but a clear lack of opportunities for the talented girls to have a `go' at the coveted title. For long, the paucity of testing chess tournaments for women remained a major hindrance for norm-seekers. From the 1970s when the famed Khadilkar sisters ruled the roost, women's chess has come a long way - not because of a change in the system but despite it. Still a lot needs to be done. Today, an active Bhagyashree Thipsay represents the old order, the emergence of Koneru Humpy, Tania Sachdev and more recently Aarthie Ramaswamy, depicts the challenge posed by the new kids on the block. In between, there is a player like Vijayalakshmi, arguably the strongest woman player at present in the country, with over a decade and a half of competitive chess behind her. She may have narrowly missed the limited chances that came her way to complete the WGM title-requirements, but there is no denying the fact that only if the opportunities were more, the pressure on her would have been much less. Everyone cannot be as consistent as Viswanathan Anand, who made three Grandmaster norms in the space of six months in the second half of 1987 and that too, without losing a single norm-game. And once he broke the barrier, there was no looking back. But then, none was as abundantly talented and adequately resourceful as Anand.

    THE EVER-CHANGING,
    NEVER-ENDING QUESTION
    THE SALT LAKE CITY TRIBUNE
    MAY 14, 2000 "CHECKMATE"
    At this writing, 23-year-old Judit Polgar of Hungary is fighting for top honors in a star-studded tournament in Bali, Indonesia. There is also the news that a Lithuanian teenager, Victorija Cmilyte, has won her country's national championship. A recent issue of the British Chess magazine reveals that the top players for Oxford and Cambridge University teams during a recent match were two young women: Ruth Sheldon and Harriet Hunt. And as many readers already know, 16-year-old Irina Krush of New York is the strongest player her age male or female in the United States. Despite the unprecedented frequency of honors for young women players, chess remains overwhelmingly a male domain as attested to by the most current international rankings which list only one woman - Judit Polgar - among the top 100 players. A recent attempt to explain the discrepancy was made by World Champion Garry Kasparov who argues: "Chess demands immense strain and desire to always win. For many centuries this type of mentality has been formed in men, who are the militant part of the world's population. We need another 30 or 40 years in order to fill the difference between men's and women's intellect." I would guess that most or all of the women chess players cited above will passionately disagree with both Kasparov's argument and timetable as will many of the rest of us who have been impressed by the ability, drive and competitiveness of women in other sports such as track, tennis, soccer and basketball.
