He's probably so used to playing 5 min blitz that he can't function with any other time control.

They're jerks. I play 10 min + 10 sec on Playchess. On more than one occasion I had people claiming engine use because of the time I used. I don’t hover the mouse over a piece and I spend a few seconds looking at my moves so usually end up with 2-3 min. left while my opponents often have 12-15 left. It should be obvious when you’re spending 0-5 seconds a move, especially in the middle or end game, you’re going to make a lot of mistakes. The last time it happened I got cussed out in German.

I see this periodically on Playchess, but more often than not, BOTH players are playing fast. They pick a 30 minute time control and play like it's a 5 minute game. I don't get it either, lol. I guess 93confirmed is right.

It irks me when somebody accepts a game, plays 5 moves and offers a draw. When I refuse they disconnect. It’s usually the rating challenged players that do it. I assume they’re looking for a couple free points.

Nothing moves faster than an elementary particle in a Particle accelerator in CERN, except light of course but the latter only just wins.
