Watched the whole thing; that was fun.

 

Watch when the kid takes the guy's queen.  He grabs the queen, removes it from the board,  and uses it to tap the clock reset button all in 1 move.  LOL.

 

Kid has style.

The guy playing white would have won if he didn't mess up at the 8:21 mark.

 

Instead of moving the pawn to A4, he should have moved the king to D3. At worst, white can force a draw, if not win it. You even see him hesitate and move his hand back and forth; unsure on which piece to move. He chose poorly.

 

The kid's best move was standing up and provoking white into playing speed chess, which forced him to make a mistake.

ON a related note....

I was in a game with only 3 pieces left: two kings, and a queen.  I was the one with lone king.

Most people fold automatically. I wanted to play it out. The guy didn't know how to checkmate with only two pieces. Declared a draw after 50 moves with no pieces taken.

Probably a dumb question: What is the purpose of the timer?

 

I am a Backgammon man. I havent played chess in years, though I may see if dad would like to play. Between the drink and smoke, that will take a while. Certainly slower than that seven year old!

the timer makes it possible for me- 1750 to beat a 2600 in 5 minutes.  It's all about time pressure.  Less time to calculate.  That 2600 player would beat me in 20 moves if he had all day to calculate.  But the timer makes it more of a level playing field, especially with a time crunch.  I myself like to play 5 minutes or 3 minutes with 2 seconds a move- for example if you take 5 seconds to move- 3 seconds come of the clock.  But a 1 second move adds 1 second

Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

Get thai'd, you're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine...

 

...

And thank God I'm only watching the game controlling it

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

You win by either check mating, or your opponent's clock runs out of time

So, break it down. Is there a play clock or an overall game clock, or what? Both players had relatively long pauses.

I have a chess clock.  You make your move, then hit the clock.  Then time is deducted from opponents clock, until he moves, then he hits clock and time starts counting down off your clock, until you move and hit clock.  5 minutes time seems to me to be most common setting for the clock.  But it can be 10, 20, 30, 60 minutes.  But Blitz chess is usually 5 minutes or less. In other words, the game is over after checkmate, or someone's clock expires.  Blitz chess is quite fun

or he resigns, sometimes by hurling his king into the rushing river beside your game that afternoon

Do they use opening books in blitz chess?

opening books?  A good blitz player is familiar with most opening lines.  That's why some in Blitz chess try to play uber aggressive, non conventional openings that someone might not be familar with such as Danish Gambit(one of my favorites) or The Grob(statistically the worst opening move, but has great lines, and will confuse many opponent, especially during blitz game)
