Third Place – Match 1

The 2025 Speed Chess Championship (SCC) is the ultimate test of endurance, versatility, and precision. As a crown jewel of the competitive calendar, the SCC pits the world’s best players against one another in a unique, escalating format: 90 minutes of 5+1 blitz, 60 minutes of 3+1 blitz, and a final 30 minutes of hyper-fast 1+1 “bullet” chess. The player who can maintain their composure and tactical vision as the clock shrinks is the one who ultimately advances in the bracket.

The SCC is famous for its “clutch” moments and legendary comebacks where momentum can shift half a dozen times in a single hour. These VODs offer the full broadcast experience, preserving every match-point and time-scramble. If you want to see how Grandmasters think when they only have seconds left on the clock, this is the tournament to watch. Our spoiler-free format ensures that even if a match goes to a tie-break, the result remains a mystery until the final king falls.
