The top players used to like me as partner cause I was fast(I used to play lightning with the degens who noplayed people who played less than a hundred games straight =) with good combinational skill.
Played my best with FireFly our styles fit well together and he was awesume at understanding how the boards fit together and hinting me. I never became really good due to having problems with watching my partners board and only being a <1800 blitz player.
Think I would get crushed if I logged on today.
