Poland will hold the Blitz/Rapid World Chess Championship. I think that Magnus will join. But what about Nakamura ? What about Firouzja ? 

Coffeehouse was described on this picture below  and  this recent blog entry

There I made the case for interesting lines using 1.e4 against the sicilian, the french defense, the caro-kann and also 1e4 e5.

Lets the games showing Winning Chess CoffeeHouseStyle !

and now the game by @Hikaru

if Black tries e7-e6, here's a key moment in the opening

and here's a model game

onto the Caro-Kann

and here's the full game

The french defense can be overcome in coffeehouse style !

and finally a game featuring 2.Bc4 followed by 3.Nc3 transposing into the Vienna Game 2.Nc3
