Blitz Tricks

A very quick win by Mamedyarov over Judith Polgar in the current World Blitz Championship. He set it up with the sneaky Kb1, which should always be a warning bell if you play Qa5 in such positions. Sergey Karyakin thought it was funny enough to tweet about it, but then got bitten by karma 2 rounds later when he lost to Polgar!
