  fredthebear: agadmator says this was "an incredible game" albeit a blitz game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbz...
May-26-23  Murky: Giri worked some tactical magic in this game. Pretty knight sac with 20... Nxa4. Wesley So never had a chance after that. 22...f3 was a finishing touch, even though the game lasted another ten moves. Very high quality chess for a blitz game!

  perfidious: <Murky....Very high quality chess for a blitz game!>

Elegant indeed. So's helplessness was striking.

  Troller: I am generally of the opinion that blitz games are best forgotten once played but I must admit this one stands out. Thanks to fellow kibitzers for shedding some light on this little gem I would otherwise not have seen. Incredible stuff.

  perfidious: <Troller>, actually I largely agree with that view and do not normally consider them worth analysing; but I have found that <Murky>'s comments, wherever one may come across them, are of interest in some way.
