Hi guys, I wanted to discuss the issue of playing blitz and bullet games over-the-board (OBT).
We are too familiar with pieces going into disarray and falling down during OBT blitz games. Just remember the game between Alireza Firouzja vs Magnus Carlsen (World Blitz 2019), where Firouzja first makes a mess while capturing a pawn on e5 and later on drops the king on g4 and loses on time while trying to pick it up (see video below starting at 9:26). That was not nice for the viewers to see (and for Firouzja to endure!).
But it doesn't have to be that way. With the Magnetus Chess set, the first self-adjusting chess set in the world, none of that would have happened! This set is unique in that strong magnets force the pieces to be at the center of their squares and also make the pieces resistant to being knocked-down (for a closer look at this set click here). That is why the Magnetus set has to be the best set for playing speed chess OBT (see video below).
What do you guys think? If you know of another chess set that is good for speed chess, please share in the comments.
