[zvvyskxs] Blitz match

A blitz chess match between 2 (or 3) players can proceed much faster than a larger tournament with more players.  In a match, the next game can begin as soon as the previous one ends, whereas in a tournament, the next round (traditionally) cannot begin until the longest game of the previous round has finished.

Also could apply to a single elimination tournament, with each head to head encounter a match.

Extend the idea to more than 3 players, with many players out.
