This Lu seems pretty good at Blitz.
His classical rating doesnt seem to reflect that.

And look at second place (by tiebreakers..) Two 266x plyers leading the field, with some very impressive results this tourney

Looked through a few of the games. Carlsen playing cutting-edge openings like e4 nf6 e5 ng8! :D
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

is there a 100% way to win the king bishop rook vs king rook if both sides play perfectly (so no blunders?)
dAPhREAk gives Shock a * | [23:55] <Shock710> that was out of context -_- [16:26] <@motbob> Good question, Shock!

Nope, the weaker side can pretty much always defend. The only exceptions are very few specific positions, where the side with Bishop has unstoppable mating threat right from the moment he enters this endgame, but this almost never happens.
