Carlsen miniatures in bullet chess

Hello Magnus Carlsen won yesterday  the monthly bullet tournament on lichess


I thought I would showcase 2 super quick wins ( miniatures) against GMs.

First, Andrew Tang (US GM-penguingm1 on lichess! ) plays 1 d4 d5 2Bf4 which is a sideline -Queen's Pawn Game or London-

Here's how Black won this game Magnus, playing under DrNykterstein username

my lichess game against GM Akobian

Here's the game played on lichess.org server

GM Var Akobian was streaming and he picked up my challenge.

Yes I lost the game, but not without a fight!

on move 30, he blundered and 31 Rxc4! would have turned tables around. later on rook ending could have been saved. He played the opening very quickly and first 16 moves were following his game against J. Ehlvest in 2009. I was out of book earlier and had to figure out a way to play the position

opening is French Defense Nd2  : 1e4 e6 2d4 d5 3Nd2 Nf6. This is GM Akobian main opening
