Here's the game against the Candidate Master that I referenced towards the end of my previous video.

I also recently started bringing up my speed chess ratings. My blitz used to be around 1600s and I got it up to 1700s for 3 min, but I remember my 5 min blitz ability closer to 1850 or so. I was curious if I could get that or higher, so I started playing 5 min blitz and it took several sessions within a week or so, but I crossed 2000 blitz rating! I also had an idea to try bullet, but I'm way worse at bullet and it's been a struggle. I literally can't tell if I'm like 1700 bullet or 1900 bullet, but it's probably somewhere in the middle in the 1800s. Probably too far to try and get 2000+ rating in the 3 main time controls (rapid, blitz, bullet), but oh well; I was still kind of trying.

Would a video sharing a blitz game or two be something I should make a video on?
