LOL, yeah, it's mostly weak players. I haven't lost any either except by mouse slips, like when he captured my Queen with the knight. Yikes... There should be an undo function and an observe mode.

Blitz is demoralising.
I dislike it & it just promotes 2nd rate play. I play enough bad moves as it is in a 42 moves/90 mins club game thanks.
I have 2 rapidplay tournis coming up as well. 🙁

That's true, but it's good if you want to get the feel of some new openings. At 10:10, that's what I use it for

Sometimes the chat is broken and I can't enter any text. Arghh! An no, it's not because in-game chat is blocked.

Sometimes it won't let me enter any moves either! Also, it has no history to see previous games you played, no messaging function, doesn't display ratings when a game starts and has no rating restrictions. It needs a lot of work, but it's a good start. I just wish they didn't make it in Flash. Java would have been far easier to program in without so many bugs. Flash is really a horrible technology for this kind of stuff.

How not to play against the Latvian:

I guess you must really like the dutch if you're willing to play the Latvian! 😛

Anyway, another problem is that if I get disconnected, or go to a different page by accident, I cannot reconnect. It also keeps annoying me that there is no friends lists or messaging system.

Problem with RHP blitz is that all players there are way too weak for me.

Here's a pretty cool QID I just played:

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 4. g3 Ba6 5. b3 Bb4+ 6. Bd2 Be7 7. Bc3 O-O 8. Bg2
d5 9. Nbd2 b5 10. c5 Nbd7 11. O-O Ne4 12. Nxe4 dxe4 13. Nd2 f5 14. Re1 Nf6 15.
f3 Nd5 16. Bb2 Ne3 17. Qb1 Nxg2 18. Kxg2 exf3+ 19. exf3 Bxc5 20. Rxe6 Bb7

I will leave you in suspense. 😛
