That last two videos have been of Nakamura. Are you taking an interest in his chess activity? It is definitely nice to see an American (and a young American, that is) among the top 20 FIDE players given an overall foreign dominance of the charts. Not to say I'm really nationalistic at all, but America typically has few representatives in the Chess World.

@gotaids I have been interested in how he progresses, however it's not for this reason I chose those games. They cover strong players, top 10 in the world, and are from recent tournaments.

Even in a blitz game these guys go way over my head.

[Rannosteachs]

excellent analysis as always. great match blitz chess is very hard to analyze for me because i some times don't realize something was a straight mistake.

[bizonmaciej]

its funny how chess has a "blitz mode"

[Nasos228]

the moves are so rapid we even have no time to pause and start again.. The move each time is also not highlightended and it makes it difficult to follow

[janweltevreden]

Wow. I am just a club player and would be happy to play a long game with such quality, despite the odd error. Blitz amazes me. How DO they do it?!
