Amazing Pattern & Priceless Reaction | Nakamura vs So | Speed Chess Championship 2020
Channel: Mordimer's Chess Channel
Date: 2020-12-10

In one of the bullet-time control games played in Speed Chess Championship 2020 we had a very interesting situation where one of the players found "winning" continuation and got countered by his opponent. Enjoyable example of amazing puzzle rush skills by both players. Hikaru Nakamura blitz skills were enough to win the semi-final match, but in this game, it was Wesley who saw beautiful counter-tactic. One of the fanciest Wesley So chess games I've ever seen.

The Speed Chess Championship 2020 final has been expanded with a brand new, multi-event qualification system and a significantly increased total prize fund of $250,000 (a $150,000 increase over the 2019 event). The main 16-player SCC Main Event has a prize fund of $100,000, which is double last year's total purse for what had been the richest online blitz tournament. The tournament will run November 1 - December 13, 2020 with a finals weekend on December 11-12 (semis) and December 13 (final). Eight players will be invited directly to the Speed Chess Championship knockout bracket, while a qualification system will determine the eight remaining spots.
