My abusive blitz opponent and me with white, played on FICS five minutes ago, he
beat me up badly in our first encounter, thus the barrage of advice.

Idk Robbie, when I started out I didn't know anything "theory" wise about openings. I just said, hmm why don't I try a Sicilian and I would glance at some beginners book for 10 minutes and then go out and play it. That was fine for 1700, because frankly, trusting your instincts and what you "get" about a position is more useful than theory at Class B. Granted pping material in the opening or losing then you need to revisit your opening principles.

lol, best annotations this year!
I would annotate my last blitz game but my opponent aborted on move one and announced
"not you! you American thief!"
I have never played the guy before, but on average about every 10-20 games I get some patronizing comment from a European who either
a) Hates me for being American and absolutely must tell me.
b) f ...[text shortened]... because they will not play Americans.
when I lose, I get no response as it was expected 🙂
Originally posted by nimzo5Yes, it is. I played a guy recently who'd outplay me in the middlegame and then resign. When he did it for the first time, I thought it was a mistake and I offered him a rematch. He did it again. I got irritated and offered him a rematch to show him who's the boss. He did it again. When he said, "I'm invincible!!!11!" I decided to go on with my life.
Ayep, it's only in blitz this stuff happens, and even more so in 1min bullet games. So silly.
