Blitz chess beta live now.

Just played Bad Wolf. Neither of us really paying much attention, but I want to go on record as having beaten him (since he's rated higher than me 😉 ) I like the idea, but since it's basically UChess, I'd like to see some things added, like general chat in the waiting area and kibitzing of games in progress. Great idea though, Russ.

Here's my totally dominant and masterfully played victory (joke).

I would have you both know that in my correspondence games that I often spend 5 minutes thinking about a single move, so of course I'll play poorly fast. 🙂

The game seems to have dropped off. 🙁 I'm waiting for your move, and I tried sending a message but it didn't go through. I'm guessing you're waiting for me move on your side.

I've already said that was the reason, maybe you should set the game to 30/5, then that would be better for you.


I have played on Uchess before and have never breeched 1200 as a rating

played couple games against wolf and demonseed. works well. I am happy of drag&drop-feature.

There should be rematch button somewhere. Really annoying to always come back to lobby and send invite again.

Dude, i'm quiting while i'm ahead LOL.



10/5 game on offer.

3-0 now!! I'm just the opposite of Bad Wolf. I spend about as much time on my RHP moves as I do on my Blitz moves...maybe that's why I only hover around 1600 ish...

Maybe Russ has already addressed this, but is he planning a link from RHP to the Blitz site?
