Ok, I'll check it out. Thanks.
BTW: I was just playing on RHP blitz and this 1300 told me "GG" and immediately left after a timeout win in a position which I was better. Maybe I'm the only one bothered, but I hate when people do that. It seems silly to say "GG" after a game you didn't earn. And yes, I don't consider a timeout win in a game where I just forgot about the time, a real win even though it counts the same.
We were both down to just a few seconds. It could have happened to either one of us.
I take it is a complement when I really feel it was a good game and earned. A half-finished game with countless errors is not really a "GG" in my book. Although, I wouldn't have minded if he said "GG" but stuck around for at least 5 seconds so I can give a response. I would have probably said something like: "That was an interesting game, too bad it was cut short." That's just me.

Here's a messy one:
Regarding my posted games, my play was completely horrible in those games and any player with no positional understanding could have played better. Intend to take a more disciplined approach to the blitz games, in seeing the board, developing a repertoire, further enhancing chess understanding so I can play better in time pressure and play with some cajones (energy) .
^^That's my plan because although I do not value blitz so much if I play I want to do well. Making mistakes displeases me because although I do not at all care about my standard of play relative to other people, I enjoy having good ideas; although I know how to study well and thoroughly - constructive suggestions for improved performance welcome. 🙂
