Cool that you are doing this as well. I think this is one of the most underrated things. Where did you hear about it? I stole it off of NM Matt Gross when I heard his Perpetual Chess interview...

Imagine my surprise reading the Guardian's recap... I'm thinking woah, 1. Kf3! Ding must've fallen off his chair.
