There once was a great chess player,
Who became known as a dragon slayer.
One by one,
His h pawn would run
And pry open a file,
As he cracked open a smile.
He never waited,
And he always mated.
And then one night,
He got a real fight.
He was all out of book,
And his hand quickly shook.
His king ended up dead.
He lost to the Fred.

if the "hey look at me, I won a blitz game" threads had a 10th of the discussion here, they'd be perfectly fine. but they seldom have. and when the opening post doesn't even try to write a single thought down, the responses are practically guaranteed to have absolutely zero content.
so, when you post a blitz game, PLEASE do try to write something ...[text shortened]... st cyberspace, but there's still no reason to litter and make yourself look like a twat.
Also I don't understand why people are finding it so hard to grasp the point of this thread. It's not about whether or not blitz is fun, or whether it helps your game in some academic way. I play blitz all the time, I have fun. And I probably learn more during that time than I would studying opening books...
But that's not the point...
I just want people to stop making crappy threads. If you're going to post a blitz game at the very least tell us why it's an interesting game. Tell us how you could have improved upon it, why you made the moves that you did, if your sacrifice was sound, etc.
I have absolutely no problem was paulbuchmanfromfics or anybody else posting blitz games that he/she commentates on.

Let me point to you why people don't get your point.
If you got a smothered mate on FICS 5/0 playing against ErodeTheMoon I really couldn't care less.
Rather personal don't you think?

2. It's true, I really couldn't care less about your smothered mate
3. This is the internet
4. I don't need to be polite
5. Get over it

Originally posted by DivGradCurlI hate to break it to you man, but the vast majority of people on here don't spend that long on their moves, even though they have weeks to decide. I can post some stupendously brilliant GM blitz games if you like. The fact of the matter is that people can discover really original ideas under time pressure, THAT is why they post them! The fact that the move(s) was/were found in seconds is why people wish to share them. A great move is a great move, the time control is irrelevant.
I just don't understand why people elect to post those games instead of the CC games they play here (for example) and spend at least 10x the effort/time on.

5. I was never under it

Why is the forum being flooded by blitz games?
There's never anything to learn from them. No commentary is every given and no suggestions are ever made. If you got a smothered mate on FICS 5/0 playing against ErodeTheMoon I really couldn't care less.
People need to start posting real games that they put effort into. The point of posting games shoul ...[text shortened]... ent game for analysis was no1marauder's NYS Championship topic and that was like 2 weeks ago.
So, with that in mind, please tell us what is bothering you so much that you have to find relief in behaving like a complete social imbecile ? Is it a fungus on your left leg ? Is it a fact that you do not have vivid social life and you are closed in your room for days trying to heal yourself by posting angry remarks on your PC ? Is it that your e1 resident might be too small.. mmm, you know ? Would you like to have a girlfriend but nobody wants you? What is your REAL problem ?
Just ask for help when you feel lost, ok ?
Have a nice day.
