This should amuse people like greenpawn.
Thinking process: Yes! I finally get to play a smothered mate!
Oh... wait... that's not a rook, is it?
Resign.

This should amuse people like greenpawn.

Superb. Going to use that game on next column.
Reminds me of time I played Elaine Rutherford (2100 something)
In an allegro game.
I had a bishop on f1 - something like this.
I worked out a nice 4-5 move combination attacking her 0-0-0
position which culminated in Rf1-a1+
It was at this moment (Rf1-a1+) that I realised I had a Bishop on f1
and not a Rook.

I don't think blitz lowers IQ points at all. In "blitz" games people don't make perfect moves and mistakes are very prevalent and pointing out a blunder towards the end of a game is absurd. You have not stated how much time is left which is a HUGE factor in blitz chess!
Originally posted by Mad RookI think so too, however, there is an element of truth in it.

Too much blitz gives you loads of bad habits for real OTB play.
Moving too fast coupled with scant and shody analysis.
