Funny and shocking Blitz video


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!

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.
