Since I see from other thread that most of you play blitz, I would like to know if you play it always or do you play it sometimes, or do you care for slow chess even if it is not a tournament.

Here most people dont want to play slow chess since we got all these clocks.

I play blitz most days, just prefer it really. I don't really have the patience to sit there and wait 10mins for someone to make a move. I'd rather play 5 5min games over 1 50min game.

Weekly. The strong players at my club rarely want to play a slow game.

Blitz is an addiction. If I go two days without playing, I suffer withdrawals.

Sounds like it's time to go fishing, WB.

I enjoy games with 10-20 min time limits. When I do play blitz which is about acouple days a week I like to play with 12 second intervals and a time limit of 5 mins.

I used to play 2 min fast. It does no good to do that! Don't do it!

Never. I am too slow for that.

It's true, it is an addiction and I try very hard to keep away from it. I really play it very rarely (maybe once a month or so) but when I do I'll play up to 20 or 30 games at a sitting. It's bad for your brain in my opinion and I can never get myself to stop until I have a raging headache and I start losing game after game after game. If I never reached a losing streak I'd probably play it until I fell asleep at the computer.
