At Grenke Chess Classic-2015 the German #1 Arkadij Naiditsch defeated the World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen in classical chess, drew the rapid and blitz mini-matches 1-1 each and succumbed only with Black in Armageddon. Now you have a special opportunity to experience a similar challenge and to face GM Arkadij Naiditsch in a two-game blitz match. Free of charge!

Conditions of the Match

In one game you get White against GM Naiditsch; in the other you play Black.
The time control is 5 minutes/game for each of the opponents.
Venue: Chess.com, PlayChess, ICC, or any other major chess site of your choice.
Cost of participation: FREE for winners of the Top GM Secrets lottery (see below).

Eligibility for the Top GM Secrets Lottery

On March 15 a drawing of lots will be held among all the active subscribers of Top GM Secrets. Three prizes will be offered. The winner may either claim the prize for himself/herself, or transfer it to a different person. Basically, each subscription valid on March 15 is a lottery ticket, so the more subscriptions you and your friends possess, the higher the chances of winning one or more of the prizes. The winners will be announced in the March 21 issue of Top GM Secrets.

Good luck!
