Example Sentences
- "Alexander Grishchuk provided the much-needed fireworks on the board, as six out of nine of his games were decisive. The Russian is well known for giving his fans a heart attack by blitzing out moves in the final seconds of time control and if he hadn't been a chess player, my best guess is that he would have been in a bomb squad saving lives. It remains to be seen if Grischuk can change his timing style and do justice to his actual playing style."
- "The players blitzed out their opening moves until Carlsen played the rare 8 .... h6, a line only seen twice previously at the highest level."
- "Typically in chess, the first eight to ten moves follow an established theory or line of play and top grandmasters blitz out these moves. After that, towards mid-game, it gets complicated, with far too many variables, permutations and combination. That is where human creativity, intuition, and genius comes in."
