I find whenever i play Blitz Chess, Im Horrible!
i find the time pressure is just too much for me to handle, 5/0 is just too short for me
does anyone else have the same prob.?
05 Aug '08 19:006 editsOriginally posted by EmLaskerIt takes practice. 5 0 seems slow to me because I've been playing 3 0 regularly for several years. Last time I played 5 0, though, I blew an easy win.

05 Aug '08 19:28Originally posted by EmLaskerThe same with me, that's why I usually play 10/0 or 15/0. But I guess der schwarze Ritter is right and practicing would help.

05 Aug '08 19:54Originally posted by EmLaskerI don't like playing 5 0 or 3 0, because if you have an easily won position, I don't like that the clock can still run out on you. If you play 5 3 or 5 5 or even 3 3, you know that if you have an easy win, the clock won't run out on you, but it still put enough time pressure to make for a fun game.

I always play 4 minutes no add ons.
Anything longer allows players to 'muli-task' and you end
up playing a box. Same delay in between moves, no blunders
and no traps is a dead give away.
Not really seen it on here - why bother? No grade.
But other sites....I don't play there anymore.

It's like playing chess on a postage stamp.

09 Aug '08 06:36Originally posted by jnguyenI am just beginer but my Corresponding Chess performance is better than Real Time Chess/ Blitz. I also get crushed at playchess.com.
ME!
I play on playchess.com or whatever and get routinely crushed. To me I think it's almost like a different game altogether. I find that I try to find the best move which takes too much time and end up losing on time too often. It's fun though and I'm going to focus on it more when I can get my standard rating better.
