Syllabus

I join a Daily Rapid Arena and share my train of thought as I play 2 games with time control 10+0. The openings played are the Rapport-Jobava System, and the Duras Gambit. This arena began on March 12th, 2025 at 12:00 PM EDT. Many viewers over the years have expressed that these slower time control games act as a sleep aid. You may find that watching these rapid games may help you to improve your chess or help you to reach the rapid eye movement stage of sleep. Enjoy either way.
