Can you checkmate with 2 rooks and 3 pawns vs King (with 6 seconds remaining + 2 second increment)? Anything CAN happen in blitz! The winner gets a serious piece of real estate in Russia as the prize!
Grischuk – Karjakin / Blitz “Piterenka Cup” 2012 Armageddon!
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
A real tragedy! Why was Grischuk so nervous?
I enjoyed blitz when I was a teenager full of piss and vinegar, but no more – for reasons which are well illustrated by the video.
That game may have been fair, may have been a sporting contest, may have been fun … all that, but it wasn’t chess.
Kramnik said : “blitz is not chess”
I’m agree !
