I like that Peter has gotta his rating up to a reasonable level. For the longest time he was around 2700 and didn't seem to take blitz play seriously.

[@EliasAxelPettersson]

I am curious to get your (Svidler) assessment of Ra5+ at 5:00. Next would follow 1...Kb4 (not Kxc4? because of Ra4+) 2. Kxb4 Kxa5 3. Kc5 taking the pawn and queening. Seems like a simpler conversion, no? I still love your humility. It's very hard to premove that ending.

Nah, it was me:) but at 5:00 black played Bd4, Svidler could move Ra5+, Kb4 then Rg4 and the pawn on g6 falls and the white g4 is a passed pawn, i know both were short on time but i´ve seen Carlsen and Firouzja can see deeper lines in just seconds when playing bullet chess online
