Chessworld.net presents: How Nakamura won the ICC Open 2011
Notes from Wiki regarding Nakamura’s blitz skills:
Nakamura is very skilled at blitz chess, and has been called “easily the best blitz player in America”[2] and “one of the best blitz players in the world”.[51]
Nakamura is well known in the chess community for playing on the Internet regularly. He plays primarily on two chess sites: Internet Chess Club (‘Smallville'(Which he does not use)) (‘Capilanobridge'(His current account)) and Playchess (‘Star Wars’). He is the strongest bullet, blitz and standard player on the server and he has set many rating records under different categories.[52]
Nakamura has served as a commentator and game annotator, most prominently on the ChessNinja website, operated by chess author Mig Greengard.
Nakamura has been described as having an uncommon enthusiasm for chess and as being much more approachable than other players of his ability. For instance, just after winning his first U.S. Championship in 2005, he played numerous 1-minute games with all comers in the lobby of the hotel where the competition had taken place.[53] Fast chess (also known as Speed chess, Blitz chess, Lightning chess, Rapid chess, Bullet chess, and Sudden death) is a type of chess game in which each side is given less time to make their moves than under the normal tournament time controls of 60 to 180 minutes per player.

The different names distinguish the maximum duration of a game. Commonly used time controls are:
Rapid or Quick: 15 to 60 minutes per player, sometimes with a small time increment per move (e.g. 10 seconds).[1]
Blitz: 15 minutes or less per side. Usually sudden death (no increment), but may also be played with a small increment. More recently due to the influx of digital clocks, 3 minutes with a 2-second add is also preferred.[1]
Bullet: 1 to 3 minutes per side. The time control for this setting is 2 minutes with a 1-second add or 1 minute with a 2-second add. The term “Lightning” can also be applied to this variant.
Lightning: refers to either Blitz or Bullet chess, and is a general term for extremely fast chess. It can also refer to games with a fixed time (e.g. ten seconds) for each move. This also can be used for 1-minute games.
Armageddon: a game guaranteed to produce a result, because Black has draw odds (that is, for Black, a draw is equal to a victory). To compensate, White has more time on the clock. Common times are 6 minutes for White and 5 for Black, or 5 minutes for White and 4 for Black. This can also be played with a small increment. This is also known as “time odds” and it is used in various tie breaks for quick tournaments. â–ºSubscribe for my regular chess videos: â–ºSupport the channel by donating via PayPal:
