Blitz chess (also known as speed or fast chess) is a type of chess in which each player is given less time to consider their moves than normal tournament time controls allow. Openings, tactics and strategy are same.
The Modern Defense (also known as the Robatsch Defence after Karl Robatsch) is a hypermodern chess opening in which Black allows White to occupy the center with pawns on d4 and e4, then proceeds to attack and undermine this "ideal" center without attempting to occupy it himself. The opening has been most notably used by British grandmasters Nigel Davies and Colin McNab.
The Modern Defense is closely related to the Pirc Defence, the primary difference being that in the Modern, Black delays developing his knight to f6. The delay of ...Nf6 attacking White's pawn on e4 gives White the option of blunting the g7-bishop with c2-c3. There are numerous transpositional possibilities between the two openings.

Abrupt change in fortunes!

The video title mentions FM for Vlassow, so there should also be GM for Gretarsson. He is a GM for quite some years already.

Position of the camera made optical illusion as if Gretarsson is a giant and Vlassow is a dwarf (and as he sits on lower chair). Slapstick moment around 05:22 when Vlassow knocked bishop down and it rolled over down on the floor. Pity for white, he ruined good game.

Couldn't black have played using his right hand to save time :) ?
