Maybe he could get a job doing the play by play of a chess match played at classical time controls. The pace would be one that he might be able to stay up with.
That was so… painful to watch. I hope that never happens to me, poor guy.

@Polly: Maybe when ESPN brings back blitz chess he’ll get his shot.
@l3rucewayne: Never do TV. Then that won’t happen to you.
@Blunderprone: Oh, yes, the famed “Boom goes the dynamite.” There are so many little things you catch on multiple viewings; it’s a masterpiece.
@Derek: Exactly. It’s a good tag.
