    Levy was quite head to head actually...

    To be fair, I think anyone that's into chess would also be star struck to play against Shirov.

      logic is brutal because this proves a statement hikaru made regarding levy's lack of tenacity against the cream of the crop. not saying I would do better, am saying it is optic, visible, perceptible, to see what dude was talking about.
      *obligatory comment about what levy needs to do here as if I fucking know. xD

      His brilliance against Danyyil in the Olympiad is one of the best chess games in the past 10 years, a very good introduction to Shirov if you're looking to know more. He's also famous for playing arguably the most outrageous only-winning-move in chess history, bh3 (vs Topalov 1998, Linares)

    Qa6 is normal, but well done for making him think after Qb5 at 1:57
    I had never seen this idea before: you attack the Qd3 and the pawn on b2 at the same time
    But Qa6, White can play c4, and you do not attack the b2 pawn

    Levy: We want to play quick.
    Mr. Fire Onboard: Plays all sorts of weird moves. (waiting for an attack)
    Levy: Ohhhhhh he made mistakes, I can make Fire On Board. (using the time to calculate how he is winning)
    Mr. Fire Onboard: Smiling......
    Levy: I should win here.
    Mr. Fire Onboard: You are still too young. (analyzed Levy's weaknesses during his time thinking and started HIS Fire )
    Levy: Ends up losing everything upon time.
    Moral of the story: Never think too much about how to win or you lose on time. Never think too little about how your opponent can breakthrough.

      I've seen Eric Rosen do the same thing countless times.
      "I'm up 30 seconds and have a great position! How am I going to capitalize on this?"
      ... explores several plans that don't quite work...
      Soon: "I'm down a minute and my opponent has all the activity :-("
      Also Eric Rosen: "The most important thing in Blitz is to play solid moves and save some time for the end-game". Then spends all his time trying to find complex mating combinations involving queen sacrifices...
