Ok let’s solve this once and for all, no shim sham.

Are there actually any real benefits of speed chess? Bullet/blitz. Other than it being more addictive than crack.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS???

 

LET ME TELL YOU THERE ARE NONE THERE ARE NOOOOOOONNEEEE ITS A SHAME A SHAME A SHAME ITS A BIG SCAM!!!!!

 

DONT PLAY SPEED CHESS SAVE YOURSELF. SAVE YOURSELF.

 

The only benefit is if you want to play a quick, lax game against a friend or something and it’s not serious. KEYWORD: NOT. SERIOUS.

Bru speed chess helps our calculation skills grow u calculate more faster. For example if u play 20 games a day of bullet u will start calculating what u calculated in a minute now in a second so yeah it helps

Flag is a part of chess I win most bullet games as I either play too good or flag my opponent by promoving I am good at premoving 

Thunder7

But yeah it does hurtwhen u get flagged in a winning position it happens to me rarely tho cause of my speed

Thunder7

But if u implement tactics in speed chess u will get fast at finding yhem

Also I think of it like this

  • Bullet trains speed and blunder checking
  • Blitz trains intuition and quick calculation
  • Rapid trains positional skills and time management
  • Classical tests all of the above skills.

No. Even the "speed god" Hikaru said it himself: Blitz is just a flagging competition. I'm paraphasing, but still. There aren't any benefits of speed chess. "Speed chess helps you calculate faster" No. No it doesn't. I can personally conform.

I can also personally confirm it helps me calculate faster.

The end part just says that ur bad at accepting losses. I mean time is a part of the game and it has to be managed effectively. Wouldn't it be unfair if u got 1 min extra (no armaggedon mentions here.)
