There aren't many situations where you can make 27 moves in 3 seconds, or it wouldn't be a brag, now would it?

My purpose in blitz isn't to get the biggest rating. I play to try to improve my game and ability. If I wanted the highest blitz rating I'd go play/master the stonewall, BDG and other bull**** that works great for creating superficial but time consuming threats. So playing brainlessly in the early stages is kind of pointless.

I'd love to play increment/standard but almost no strong players do, likely and paradoxically for the same reason.

i'm really suprrised your were like 2200 5-min making comments like this....

Just frustrated that I've had an inordinate amount of games decided by the clock lately. Even had an IM play for a flag with times of like 22 to 17 seconds in a dead drawn opposite bishop game where there was nothing left to do but move the pieces back and fourth but the possibility of randomly pushing a pawn en prise meant slow moves. Pretty tilt inducing.

Guess that's my fault for letting an IM get a drawn position and not moving 5 seconds faster huh.

Also, I just realized how my post might have been interpreted. I was not suggesting that blitz is about superficial threats/etc. Quite the opposite. The top blitz players obviously play a better 5 0 game than 99.99% of the world plays in a 3 hour game.

I was saying that some stupid opening like the BDG or whatever would almost certainly be better for "MY" short term results right now simply because I'd likely never be in time trouble as the positions and themes would be extremely similar each game.

So you play with the honorable intentions of using it to improve your game and ability, not to get the highest rating possible, yet you go off cursing your opponents, scaring your girlfriend and tilting when you lose because of your clock? Did running out of time somehow hurt your goal of improving your chess ability? Something very contradictory going on here...

Learn the openings that you actually play better? Eventually you should be able to move faster once you've played enough games. It's sort of silly to act like you have to play some stupid opening and that'll make you better at blitz almost instantly.

FWIW if I played the Colle,or the stonewall attack, or any other number of "simple" openings, my results would go down quite drastically I'm sure.

You're taking more than a few liberties of hyperbolic interpretation there aren't you? I mentioned some of the things you said, but you took them to a whole new level. hahaha

And no, getting flagged doesn't really hurt directly hurt my goals at all. But it'd be nice to play out some of the positions that aren't trivially decisive either way. And keeping my rating low makes it less likely I get paired against strong opponents which makes it more difficult to improve.

Is Anna Zatonskih the chess forum's first gimmick?

You gotta be funnier than that.

Hahahahahahaha...

Ban please..

Wow, lmao, and Wow.

Please ban.

whoa, their post actually got deleted. cliff notes?

after I played the conclusion of a very convincing attack my opponent, a 2300 5-min FM, resigned in a position where he had a forced way to win my queen with more than 40 seconds on his clock. complete chess blindness two ways is awesome.

brag or beat? just variance maybe.

and 2 games later, I am facing an IM who wins a free pawn in the opening on a very obvious mouse slip (I advanced the pawn en prise, rather than exchanging), and 10 moves later - he mouse slips his bishop en prise. running like this, I should be playing poker tonight!

why was the gimmick banned , even allinmclovin laughed

also did you win this game with the free bish you left that out

Yes I did laugh.

Gimmick was banned because it wasn't funny enough.

yes, he immediately resigned.

Pretty easy game. I only really go with the Ruy Lopez. If my opponent plays anything else I mainly go d4 if i can or c3 d4 in case of sicillian.

One of my better games imo.

I still lose a lot of games to tricks I dont know about and stupid blunders (that is becoming more rare).

Trolling in multiple threads, I hit the notify button. Others probably did as well.

the chesstempo site is like crack, but it tilts me like crazy that they use a computer to determine how the losing side defends. like there will be some 4 move tactic that starts with the obvious and only sacrifice, but after you play the first move - the 'defender' immediately gives away his queen to prevent the mate and you go on to the next problem.

finding the first move in tactical problems is usually quite easy. it's the follow up that's important, but on this site you often only need to find the first move and then the opponent goes kamikaze.

i'm now at my alltime high blitz rating. 1243 yo!
