Surely I can't be the only one who just can't play fast?

I hate it too. Makes me nervous. I like to play relatively fast but I still need time to think, darn it!

True...I'm not really fully up with the different styles. I just automatically make a rash move. I think if I got used to it then I'd get the difference between what you can get through in 10 mins as opposed to 5....one match I played was even 1 minute and I just didn't get that at all, just seemed to be whoever could move the mouse the fastest tbh.

Bullet isn`t especially popular with the mouseically` challenged.
Folks who don`t enjoy blitz end up playing scrabble or cards when enjoying a coffee or pint.

To call blitz chess (say 3 min/Game or lower) "chess" is highly debatable in my opinion. What you essentially do is reacting to impulses similar to pavlovs dog, almost exclusively relying on memorized patterns (of course you need pattern recognition besides other qualities to become good ...).

That's because, I am guessing, you're not so good at it. It's easy to write off something that you don't understand/aren't good at.

There's quite a difference between 5 minutes for a complete game and 1 day per move? It is difficult to call 1 day per move "blitz" ๐Ÿ˜›
