Its not the speed I can find the moves, its the speed I can input the moves when my network has at least a few secongs lag. My computer cannot make moves that fast. I can find moves in 1 sec (not good ones) and have beaten a person half my age with 1 minute (me) to 10 minutes (him). We started a series of blitz games of 5 minutes and each game the winner gets 1 minute less, loser 1 minute more. First to win with 1 minute wins, but if you think this is good chess that helps in any way you are wrong.
