    My 8-hour London Opening course: www.ichess.net/sale/8020-tact...
    In this video, I compete in the Daily SuperBlitz Arena on lichess.org. I late-joined the 90-minute tournament with 70 minutes left and tried to win every game as quickly as possible with my arsenal of gambits, traps, and tricks. Grandmaster Wesley So (world top 10) also competed in the tournament and I had optimistic hopes of catching him... or at least playing him.
