Watching a commentated speed chess final, and it just sounds like two people aggressively reading hexidecimal.

@jw listening to chess players just discussing chess games and possible future moves simply by saying the moves out loud has always been something really impressive in my view.

@gakisstylianos The ability to visualize in their heads is remarkable. I watched a video recently of Magnus Carlsen playing three concurrent speed chess games while blindfolded, and he won all three.
