My Tricky Blitz Openings
Hi Chess Friends,
Watching the Grand Chess Tour final rounds today, I started thinking about the openings that I've had some success with in blitz. As a relatively new father, these quick games are mostly what I have time for these days, so the lines don't have to be 100% practical for slower play. Here are some options that have worked well for me, that I haven't seen covered much elsewhere.
1. The reversed Blackmar-Deimer
2. The fork trick English
I've had less success with this in slower time controls, although it has resulted in some spectacular games.
3. Wait, you can take that pawn variation of the Four Knights.
This line's playable, but fairly complicated. One nice point for blitz is that it's much better than it looks!
