Puzzle Rush Score 30

Today I lost a number of games on time. The encouraging thing was that I was winning nearly every game that I lost on time. I just struggle to calculate quick enough in a 5 minute blitz game.

Magnus Carlsen played another instructive game in the Meltwater Chess Championships. The game shows how to take a queen and pawn endgame and use the angles on the chess board to win. Magnus played an interesting opening with 1. b3 as he had already won the championship and was having fun with something a little bit different.
