Well done IM! I am so bad at blitz compared to rapid and classical.

I'd be up for a hour or two rapid or blitz arena sometime. Would need a few more players and yeah will be tough to schedule. Could plan on a public holiday or to start after a playoff game ends.

Another interesting WCC game last night. Found myself yelling at Ding again as he made his 40th move with seconds to spare. There is a big contrast between the two players. Nepo is confident and aggressive so is better with the clock but prone to blunders, while Ding is less confident and more patient so finds some amazing moves but runs into time trouble. Nepo definitely in the driver's seat now but don't see him playing it safe and expect more decisive games. Ding, needing at least 3.5 points in 6 games to stay alive, will likely need to win one game as black to have a chance.
