2009 US Junior Open Blitz playoff

Eric Rosen, with the white pieces, faces Kevin Bu in a blitz armageddon playoff game to determine the winner of the 2009 U.S. Junior Open on July 12 in Milwaukee. Rosen won the game and the right to play in the 2010 US Junior Closed Championship. Thanks to Chad Hirsch for taping the game. Rosen had the white pieces and six minutes on his clock; Bu had black and 5 minutes with draw odds (meaning if the game was a draw, he would be considered the winner).

Why did black open the h file in front of his king. Seems like very poor technique to me.

And I would have disqualified white for using both hands to make his move and press the clock on some occasions.

Enjoyed the video and the game played. Wondering about the chess pieces, I had a set like this years ago , wondering where I can get another. Its a cross between the Ultimate Chess Set ( heavy pieces and the Paladin Chess Set ( like Drueke Plastic set ).
