blitz and bullet chess are more of speed. To my opinion

I think your opening, the Russian Game is a good choice in blitz but generally I refuse to play it accepted.

usualy when i play blitz if i can take a piece i do no mater what if they are the same or the taken is of a lesser value

ex: rook for rook

kight for knight

queen for queen

Laszlo Polgar said (and i believe science backs this up) that blitz is mostly about pattern recognition.   if you have the appropriate "board chunk" in your memory, you don't even have to think.  As his daughter Susan has several world blitz titles, I'm inclined to believe it.  the book of problems he published actually changed the way i see patterns of mate, and i'm a lot quicker.   on the attack anyway, lol...

Man, I get nervous in blitz. There I said it. That & I lose on time. I hate time. Stupid time, Doh!

polgar my brain thing was kinda cool

Long games also require pattern recognition to do well, though. That's why even though low-rated players calculate a position for 3 hours, they might not find a move that grandmasters would find in a minute.

I agree with Mr. Polgar.

I agree with ozzie_c_cobblepot.  I think I know the book eloihunter is talking about.  Is it "Chess" subheading 5334 or some odd problems where the first 900 pages or so is two move mates?  I love that book.  My wife hates it because it is so big and takes up a lot of space.

that's the one.  i keep it in my car for when i have a few spare minutes.....i think the progression of problems is excellent for learning.

What a surprise I thought we have played before, so I check your profile and this is what I find. I am not very good at blitz too and I don't like to study opening theory that is why I play queen's gambit way to much. Alexandra Kosteniuk says you should study all your games, but I am not following her advice very closely yet. By the way does anyone know if chess960 will be enabled on chees.com in future?

I play blitz because I want to reach rating over 1500 or maybe 1600 just to feel good about myself. Once this goal is achieved, I will probably turn my attention to long games. Because long games are more involving. (Let's be friends, tips on how to improve my English are also welcomed.)

I agree with bunkerputt

I'm getting a little better.  I've found the 2 12 time control helps me out.  I notice that one of my tendencies, also, is to use too much time analyzing when I'm ahead in material.  Playing the simple moves quickly without too much thought helps me avoid time pressure.  Here's a nice one where I was only in slight time pressure towards the end...

Can I include that on the back flap of any future books I might write?

Sure. But you should use my full name, Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot.
