I cannot think of one instance where you have shared the Good News of Gods
Kingdom. If you can point it out, i will be happy to examine your text. As for our
chess games, i find it strange that i should do well at blitz, for example i just had a
brilliant game against a player rated 2223 and although i did not win, it went down to
a pawn ra ...[text shortened]... ndence chess i struggle to even make
an impression against anyone over 1800. Makes me wonder.
win at blitz by playing faster than your opponent. I lost a Blitz game
once and was far ahead and was about to checkmate when I ran out of
time. After that I never tried to play Blitz Chess again because i don't
consider it real chess where you have to think and make creative moves.
You just have to play faster than your oppenent in most cases until he
runs out of time. The only games I ever won at blitz Chess was by
checkmate for I never won on time because I tried to think and it took
me time to do that. Maybe I am a slow thinker.

It does under these circumstances:

I believe he means the place you go to worship, Kingdom Hall, I think you
call it. Isn't that the only place you guys baptise?

If I understand in the Greek there is no Big "G" little "g"
"While it was originally written with only a single, majuscule form for each
letter, the Greek alphabet developed a second set of letter forms, the
minuscule letters, during the middle ages, resulting in the modern system
of uppercase and lowercase forms."

the opposite, mostly the games are decided upon as in any regular game of chess, by
attaining a superior position. To state that blitz is not real chess is an outrageous
statement even for you. Its no secret that the current world champion, Viswanathan
Anand is an excellent blitz player, as was Kasparov, as was Fischer, as was Spassky.
Plus there are a full range of time controls to suite anyone from three minutes to forty
minutes a game and believe me you can think quite deeply in a forty minute period.
CC is not real chess, its the art of analysis rather than the art of playing!
now where was it you were explaining Gods Kingdom to me. I bet if i asked you
guys you wouldn't know what Gods Kingdom is, despite it being the predominant
teaching of the Christ during his short earthly ministry.

He also said: The kingdom of God has come near. The kingdom is here and now, its wherever believers are who do the work and continue the ministry of Christ here on Earth.

The longest I ever heard of was 5 minutes for each side, but we usually
played with 1 minute for each side.

think. You can go on the ICC server as a guest and get games with varying time
controls, mostly five, ten, fifteen or twenty minutes.
