    In this video, I compete in the August Titled Arena on lichess.org. Somehow I forgot to upload this earlier... but better late than never! The tournament featured 2 hours of 1-minute chess. I had a better than usual performance and played countless grandmasters. Many big chess names competed in the tournament including Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja, Daniel Naroditsky, and Andrew Tang.

    Holy shit I find 48:09 the most impressive thing ever... You saw in such a short time that the trickiest variant was to triangulate the king, so that the white king would be nestled on h4, which gives the king only one move, namely going back, which causes white to think less about moving the pawn. All that in just a split second. Insane, man!

    I'm not sure if this is a problem for most people, but as someone with hearing loss/comprehension issues I have to turn volume up a fair bit to hear your voice, but then the game sounds become deafening. The sound it makes when you get matched is particularly painful.
    For other UA-camrs I just turn on the automated subtitles, but you seem to have disabled this feature.

      It's an easy opening, but if you're as low level as you pretend, learning many tricky traps is probably the best you can do, even for longer games. Just today, I was playing blitz games(which I usually don't, so my blitz rating is below my real abilities), and I encountered this madman who had over a 100 less rating points than I, which means he likely won many games on a row, unless he specifically ask to be put up against stronger players, idk. Whatever the case, this dude tried like 10 different tricks&traps at the very begining. I avoided them all, slowly got a better position, then carefully won his pawns one after the other. Still, if I had made a single bad move in the opening, it would have been over.
