Too bad you can't see the clock, and too bad I don't speak Russian, but still a lot of fun :-)

@magician3026 a Japanese word for "charge!" usually used in desperation

Bacrot should have won this, iam so surprised he just lost after being two pawns up!

i didn't count, but you rarely see so many repetitions in one game, let alone in speed chess. really well done by bologan: he played a lousy two-pawn-down semi-endgame with so much confidence as if it was perfectly clear from the start that he'd finally be winning. as a matter of fact, he himself was the one who deliberately went into that poor endgame by avoiding the Qd1+ Re1 Qd5 Re5 repetition at around 6:00
