Nihal Sarin

Caruana hatte in dieser Woche übrigens noch einen zweiten Grund zum Feiern.

Ausgerechnet am spielfreien Tag der amerikanischen Meisterschaft gewann er Titled Tuesday auf chess.com. Mit neuneinhalb Punkten aus elf Partien setzte er sich vor Hikaru Nakamura und Nihal Sarin durch.

Dabei sah lange alles nach einem Triumph für Nihal aus.

Der indische Großmeister gewann seine ersten neun Partien hintereinander.

He finished with nine and a half points.

In round 10, he flagged the player who had been alone on a perfect eight from eight, Nihal Sarin.

$5,000 perfect score bounty had been in reach for Nihal, Chess.com reports.

Nihal had the only winning chances in that game, but he had 2.7 seconds on his clock.

Or let's take Daniel Nerdytsky, fantastic fast player also, especially Blitz, but also a strong rapid player.

Or maybe occasionally number one in the world on leeches, at least, Nihal Sarin, who is not making the Indian national team, but still the best Blitz players.

They are fantastic at Blitz.

and bullet because they do blitz and bullet.
