Thanks, sounds good.

will there be rated blitz games someday?

I want rated blitz. Any idea when the blitz here will be rated? 🙄

There will be, but I cannot give you a date. Sometime in 2008 is about all I can commit to right now.

An icon has been added to the right of the icon bar, which when clicked accesses the RHP Blitz microsite.

All blitz games are currently unrated.

This is currently in beta, and will evolve if it proves popular.

Russ,

I love it, but we should count the moves in the total moves!

Just three remarks:

a) It is rather essential to have game PGN score saved somewhere after the game. I can copy&paste it, but if I forget, my game is lost.

b) Configuration settings should be available before I start the game, not while I am playing.

c) Drag&drop + laptop touchpad = a lot of irritation.

wasn't this added a while ago? 😕

I agree. It would be very fun to have a blitz rating.

Blitz time + click the piece to move ,then click the square you want to move to = Loose on time in a lot of games, much more irritation.

I am using click&click mode while playing blitz on FICS and I am fairly glad with that.

Regarding drag&drop on touchpad (laptop) - have you ever tried doing it?
