Perfect example of “come up with.”

“Great pressure” is okay here – it might sound better like this: “He’s facing a lot of pressure to come up with a money-making solution.”

60 seconds per game?! wow … but what happens if 60 seconds pass and there’s no winner?

Bullet means only 60 seconds per game for each rival. If you don’t know the opening it’s not easy to come up with a move since game starts.

You mean, one minute per turn, right? You can say, “Taking into account the zeitnot essence of the game, many players have problems coming up with decent moves during the game.” I don’t fully understand, “each rival has only one minute for a game.” I think you mean that each player has one minute to play, after the most recent move has been made, right?

Platforms like Lichess.org or Chess.com are the main. One of the most captivating type of chess there is “bullet” when each rival has only one minute for a game with no extra time added. Taking in to consideration zeitnot essence of the game, many players have problems to come up with the decent moves soon after a game starts.

Do you mean to say, “Students have to come up with a lot of answers in a short amount of time”?
