Don t you just hate it when you play a 1 minute game, and your opponent gets all MAD when you win on time. I have a quick rating that has gone between 1650 and 1800 and tends to stay inbetween there. I find that the players rated between 1250-1650 maybe don't understand this concept.
Also using the premove, even though they know and they themselves are using premove, they think you are cheating on time because your using premove,
Unless you can get mate in the 1 minute you have, you probably will not win!
I have played a lot of these games. I have 1340 in quick-rating. I have had people saying i am cheating because i win on time, and that just silly. As so say they dont get the concept. I have probably played a 100 games, but i think i have never won on Checkmate. I found my self being quite good in thinking fast(i manage to stay away from getting mated at least), but i admit that these quick-games maybe dont help me get better in chess.
Im currently 1900 on 1 min games, and i win by checkmate a lot. Its all about your level. Iv won games, by checkmate, with only 1second left using premoves. I had already 'won' the game in the classical sense - my opponent had a lone king, i had a queen and king ( draw is still possible ), but my opponemtn had 15 seconds left. I had to premove everymove to checkmate him so that i didnt lose on time, and i had to avoid him capturing my queen and stalemate. Can a 1200 do that? Like I said, its all about your level and what you need to learn in order to get better.
Yes of course. I think i will be able to checkmate more often in quick games when i get better. I have actually use premoves in any games at live chess. Maybe this is something i should look into.
If you learn the basic concepts especially, in the endgame tactics, if your up on material, you can win with 1 second left, I played a 2200 on quick. Once I was up by a rook, but I didn't have enough time to get the mate in, i didn't call him a time cheater, just really good defense, and thats why he has his rating, he can still win losing games,
Please can you explain a pre-move ?
Recently i played a game in which over several moves in a row, he did zero seconds. I tried to move as fast as i could, with firefox brouwser (better then IE here), but i was unable to move faster a single peace in a single second (while he did multiple). Every move my clock ticked, while his clock didnt seam to tick. Altough to me it felt he used time too, before i saw it move.I got the impresion playing against some kind of computer program, moving my mouse clicking it all takes time. I tought of internet lag, but recently i heard another player complaining a simmilair game with all 0 sec moves (not just 3 or so more..), he refused to talk about it or explain it, .. so it made me believe he was cheating. Now i hear premove, how you do it how does it work ?
Pre-move is an option you can select that allows you to phyisically make a move on the board AFTER you have moved but BEFORE your opponent has moved. The squares are highlighted in red to show that you have done this. Then, WHATEVER move your opponent has made, you will make your pre move (provided it is a legal move). Does that help?
^ You can cancel your premove by using the right-click.
Yes. And you can make consecutive premoves, but whenever I line up more than 2, my game crashes...
it's not like 1 min chess ratings have any relation to skill at chess.
it's not like 1 min chess ratings have any relationship to skill at chess.
I suggest you rethink that.
You're right I had misspelled relationship previously but other than that, nope. I have watched too many of those games to be impressed by big ratings at 1 min chess. They're chock full of bad moves the sole purpose of which are to run out clocks.
So the only area of chess is finding a good move?
Nope but 1 min chess except perhaps when played by masters is just bad chess. so if you're proud of a high 1 min rating then you're proud of making less bad moves than the even worse moves of your opponents. Look I have no disrespect of you. You beat me the only time we played but I have simply seen too much horrible chess in 1 min games to ever be convinced that it is worthy of the name of the game. I'm no expert I'm 1850 OTB and that's my opinion.
lol horcrux you are not right and you are being ignorant. Bullet games can be very very nice especially played by higher rated players. There are nice tactics in almost every game.
Of course you don't want to analyze them, but you don't wanna analyze 5 minute blitz games either. They are just for fun and they can be very competetive.
I wasn't talking about 5 min games. I am speaking about 1 min games. How can I be ignorant of what I have personally observed? Obviously I am not ignorant of what I have seen because I have seen it. 1 min games are full of bad moves, period. I have seen it. Telling me that you consider me ignorant isn't argument, it's just name calling.
So your in a torny, must win situation, minute left on the clock each... Pretty useful there. Obscene exampe, but one that happens, and off the top of my head I've already come up with a reason.
Another reason is to spot tactics - in 1 min you need to employ as many 'obvious' looking moves as possible, forks and whatnot. Avoidable in long games, but often missed in 1 min. How is this beneficial? Cos after trying to find all the tactics in in half a milli second (slight overexample) then you have np seeing them in long games. Another good reason.
Lightning chess is pretty bad for you, unless your mind can actually move at around 40 moves per minute, and have none of them be ? or ??. Those games are somewhat useful, but not as much as long chess.
I agree with that. But 1 min games generally between average players results in seriously flawed tactics which succeed only because the other person hasn't the time see how to refute them as they deserve to be refuted. It's still bad chess.
I have played lots of 1min games, and some of them last over 80 moves, although that does include the use of premove.
