Solving with Verlaine

One of my crossword-solving acquaintances, who blogs in TimesfortheTimes  under the name Verlaine, is one of the top solvers, coming 2nd in the Times Crossword Championships in 2019, as I reported here. He has recently taken to videoing himself as he solves.

Look at some of those solving times! See him solving last Friday's Times crosswords here. He does the Quick Cryptic, which I blogged (see here and follow the link in the title to see the crossword and solve it before watching this) starting at 3:42 into the video. He does it in 2 minutes 44 seconds. Amazing!
