Vlad Artemiev Blitz Skills !

As Vlad Artemiev recently won the Abu Dhabi Super Blitz Challenge hosted by chess.com I thought I would analyze 2 recent blitz wins against household super GMs.

First game is Artemiev (White) againt Giri ( Dutch GM also a candidate). Certainly Giri is more well known but Artemiev dominated positionnally then tactically.

Artemiev is SibElephant on chess.com, not sure what the username means !

Then I would like to show my analysis on Nakamura-Artemiev 3min Blitz with Artemiev winning with Black pieces.

Nakamura is  top 3 in blitz/bullet in the world, maybe even second behind Carlsen . Impressive level of play in this game where Artemiev (aka SibElephant) found some very strong moves around move 25 and onwards. towards the end, there were certainly different ways to win and Hikaru (chess.com username for GM Nakamura) tried hard to find defense ideas til the end.

with my quick analysis.

any comments welcome !
