Hi everyone,
I'd like to announce an interesting event that will happen on Lichess this Sunday.

Match will feature 70 minutes of 3+2 blitz, 45 minutes of 3+0 blitz, and 15 minutes of 1+0 bullet. One chess960 game will be played in each time control at the end of each time period. (The rules are similar to Speed Chess Championship matches.)
In the event of a match tie, a single Armageddon game will be played, White with 5+0 and Black with 4+0, with Black receiving draw odds. Сolours are chosen randomly.
Match will be broadcast live with Russian commentary (@Kubra and @VladimirRukavishnik) on "solo170885" YouTube channel.
I think chess fans from Lichess will be interested to watch this clash of Russian masters and blitz experts.
Who do you think will win the match?
Looking forward to it!
Awesome. Good luck with the event!
Nice idea but an English streaming would be great !!!
What a great initiative! You should promote it on Reddit, and perhaps find english commentators as Notfox said. Any lichess streamer interested?

Weetik - Petrov final score: 18 - 13
3+2: 5.5 - 5.5
