No, you are right it isn't chess in the classic sense, 1 sec/G they move so fast
you have no idea who is being checkmated or what is going on :)
But, you will be surprised that something interesting can actually develop in
such games. E.g. things that are found by static eval need no search at all.
Here is a "nice" 1 sec game selfplayed by my engine, I like the opening for
white, it sort of reveals the opening code I have (no book was used) :)
