Jan-29-14  chessguru1: nice one fabiano..
Jan-29-14  SirRuthless: Good job Fab. Never fancied you a top blitzer but maybe this isn't a fluke result?
Jan-29-14  Kimberlie: b allright if i asked a 'stupid' question?
how long is a blitz game?
Jan-29-14  SirRuthless: Depends. In the internetz usually 3 0 is standard. 3 minutes for each side with no time added per move. In events like this one, it usually is 5 minutes with 2 seconds added per move. A game is usually done within 10-15 minutes.
Jan-29-14  Kimberlie: thanks SirRuthless
Jan-29-14  bobthebob: These blitz games were 4 minutes with a 2 second increment.
Jan-30-14  patzer2: Perhaps 24...Ng4! and 25...Qf6! would make for good daily (e.g. Wednesday or Thursday) puzzle positions.

  Richard Taylor: Cuarana's rating wrtten backwards = Carlsen's. That fact might be useful in the next Xmas clue and prize hunt...

How long is a piece of string?
