A form of speed chess is called blitz chess and nobody says it's associated with Nazis.
Definition of blitz: "a sudden, energetic, and concerted effort, typically on a specific task."
The word comes from the German term blitzkrieg, literally meaning lightning-war, which was a tactic used by the Nazis during WW2. However, the term has since become mostly disassociated from it's original meaning, thus making it IMO appropriate for use in this context.
