Originally posted by powershakerI say, great OTB players become great blitz players since they have the experience. I believe if you play good OTB then blitz will come naturally after some years.
Yep, he is probably as great as Fischer was in Blitz. But, I just have to wonder if Anand could have been FIDE World Champion in 2005 if he had never played Blitz. It makes you wonder. I think Blitz is the death of pure chess art. If someone can play at a 1900 Blitz level, they should certainly be able to have a 2000-2100 (200 points better) standar ...[text shortened]... finally made a move in your lost game to me. Hurry up! I need those points, New York. hehe
There's a lot of players who completely waste me at blitz but when it comes to normal time OTB I crush them. They make fun of me because of my low blitz rating but most of our tournaments with prizes use long time control and so I have the last laugh.
Think of all the good otb gm's. Aren't they good at blitz also?

I was expecting to get clobbered playing the Alekhine's defense against Larry Christiansen in an ICC simul, somehow managed to survive this. He was under severe time pressure on a few other boards near the end, hence the blunders.

What's an engine? (sorry for this stupid question everybody seems to know, but chess n00b here)
BUT it's against the rules in RHP. As a matter of fact, it's against the rules in all correspondence chess sites I know.
Anyway, correspondence chess is about learning & fun, right?

I already said I did beat one national master...OTB...
and what do you mean by saying "you dont just decide to forget about games....etc". Do you think I can remember all the moves from one particular game??
Of course I can tell the moves from OTB games as I had to write them down...but from internet blitz/bullet games??...no way!
Nowadays, I dont even play so much blitz on internet as I did before, mostly because my playchess account has expired. And another great site, Chess21, is closed...

Originally posted by Freddie2006yes! finally you got the point. winning NMs or FMs or even IMs on internet is not that big thing. or at least it shouldnt be. blitz is blitz, anything can happen...
