I took part in the Scottish blitz championships on June 15 which attracted a strong field, including the  legendary Michael Adams, and the German number one Arkady Naditsch.

It is the brainchild of Jonathan Edwards, who despite being in his early twenties has managed to attract sponsors to the event, Walkers biscuits and Skyscanners, to name just two, which is why he was able to get two of the best players in the world to play, and also pay out some very decent prize money.

The super tournament in Moscow is a tribute to the great World Champion Tal, but in the third round Hikaru Nakamura played in the style of another great World Champion Karpov. He employed a strategy perfected by Karpov that of restriction.
