Magnus Carlsen is not only now the highest rated player in the world, but like a lot of chess geniuses seems to be a cut above the others when it comes to lightning.
Have a look at him taking apart a couple of super-grandmasters. If you enjoy chess, it’s fun to watch him slowly pulling apart his opponents position with three pawns against a bishop.
Even if you don’t enjoy chess the second video is a time scramble in which his opponent ends up pretty pissed off.
