Anyone tried playing in blitz mode?

I'm going to experiment with this as a way to keep my hand in with many games but spend less time actually playing. Maybe spend 30 seconds or less on each move. I'm expecting I'll make a bunch of mistakes and drop a bunch of rating points.

Anyone had any experience with trying this? What were the results?

Thanks

Haven't tried it but quite fancy a game like that - it could be interesting.

Was going to offer to play you, until I saw your rating and also that you will have the same rating this time next year!!!!

As you are obviously a good player and a psychic I will have too pass.

Played Blitz, absolutely loved 5 min games. Was actually pretty good at is considering my ranking at RHP was pretty low. Membership expired, and now take time thinking in RHP. Having said that I still dont think I take more than 30 seconds per move. (unless its really complex).
