Someone else may have responded by now but I think in speed chess it is a 5 minute game with 5 seconds for each player to make a move on their turn.

I’m also not to sure but what the chess depiction isn’t just another rabbit hole.

Rules of Speed Chess

“From 1990 through 1995 a group of roughly eight chess players, including myself and Willie Speaks, met regularly during breaks at work to play 5-minute speed chess. Lightning speed and keen competition made it necessary to develop a set of rules to settle disputes that occurred during the thousands of games that were played.”

Most likely a rabbit hole. The chess part apparently 5:5 is for online chess with an online opponent. I only play Uno online with unknown opponents. :)
