CAUTION: This Rapid chess video may put you to sleep #37

I late-join an Weekly Rapid Arena and share my train of thought as I play 2 games with time control 10+0. The openings played are the Italian Game, Two Knights Defense with 4. Ng5, and the Bird's Opening. This arena began on January 15th, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. 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. 😴

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
