2021 December 10, Bryan Armen Graham, “Magnus Carlsen retains world chess title after final Ian Nepomniachtchi blunder”, in The Guardian:Typically in chess, the first eight to ten moves follow an established theory or line of play and top grandmasters blitz out these moves.

The Russian is well known for giving his fans a heart attack by blitzing out moves in the final seconds of time control and if he hadn't been a chess player, my best guess is that he would have been in a bomb squad saving lives. It remains to be seen if Grischuk can change his timing style and do justice to his actual playing style.
