World Blitz Championship 2024, killer opening traps
One of the most exciting tournaments is about to begin
https://worldrapidandblitz2024.fide.com/
Who will be the women's and men's blitz world champion ? The tournament takes place in New York City which is where I am.
of course favorites in open section could be this guy (aka Magnus Carlsen)
or this younger player (Alireza Firouzja)
Will @Hikaru win his first Over The Board Blitz Chess championship ? as dominant as Hikaru Nakamura is online, he finished 2nd in the past but never won the event.

Besides the excitment of following blitz at highest level, we can also learn tricks from these GMs.
I want to showcase 2 GMs who could create the upset, and are very very strong in Blitz.
First one is named Jakovhir Sindarov
the other one is Daniil Dubov
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
These 2 players have played the following opening (with Black) with success
White has two main moves. Taking on c6 or going for Ndb5. both displayed with arrows.
For the latter, lets see how Dubov dispatched Nepomniachtchi with the Black pieces
and of course Arjun Erigaisi could also create the surprise
it will be exciting to watch and lets monitor those sicilian defense games !
Feel free to post in the comments section if I missed one of your favorite players or if you come across a new and enticing sicilian defense trick/variation !
