That is a fascinating look behind the scenes of top flight blitz chess (I knew nothing). A few highlights:

* There's a dispute over win vs draw, with a great behind the scenes camera work.

* "If he can talk, this is a coffee house!"

* They move so fast, they can't keep the pieces on the correct tile!

Also interesting was the actual complaint at https://youtu.be/YPysTEW0YZU?t=608

            To Appeal Commitie to Fide

    during the blitz game with Carlsen when
    I had 2 or 4 second my opponnet speak
    Loudly in his Language and of course if this
    will be allowed then every body can do this
    and of course everybody lose their consentratoin
    and I want to request appeal to check 
    with camera.
