    In this video, I join the Blitz Chess Shield Arena on lichess.org and play a bunch of aggressive openings, traps, and gambits with the intention of winning quickly! This was streamed on November 7th 2018, just a few days before I flew to London to report at the World Championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana.

    The utter confidence of berserking in a tournament and immediately being distracted by a squirrel is mind blowing

    20:33 you can just take b5 knight, if he takes bishop c3 N is also hanging

      He would take the knight with his other knight and white would gain a tempo since black has to retreat his bishop

    Very entertaining. Haven't seen that Scandinavian trap before. And it beat Bartholomew no less. Looking forward to more of your blitz encounters. BTW, you still win the queen on Kf6 - 9. Bb2+ e5 10. Bxe5+ when either Ke6 or Ke7 result in mate or loss of the black queen after Nc7.
