If this site wants to move to the next level with blitz chess, which I think is a marvelous idea, the games should affect players rating. Also there should be a live chat on the page so people can get games going. This is a replica of Uchess.com, and the chat was the only thing I though was missing from that site.

Your "blitz" rating would be separate from your "cc" rating--as it should be. I don't think there are any plans for a "spelling" rating, so you're safe...for the moment.

Originally posted by jvanhineDifferent game conditions would seem to dictate different rating systems. In blitz, you can win games with totally lost positions simply by running your opponent out of time. It does not prove your true chess acumen. Hence two ratings. makes total sense.
2 ratings??i dont think you should be rated on a cc for blitzing as it can be all diffent times...
Originally posted by rhbrhp tried chat late 2001 i supported it at the time but it ended in a nightmare for rhp. i thought at the time it was a good way to get to know your fellow players{well that was the idea) but it ended in groups ganging up on fellow players ect. chat mods???? leaves a lot to be desired.
chat would need moderating
