when you sac your queen
Q sacs are always great. Atomic Q sacs have a special quality because the Q can "trip" on so many things that might explode around her. ![]()
@lutobida we've probably all been there -- losing a totally won game -- I think that's the beauty of 'the increment". I guess I do prefer 3 2 to 5 0, which is all I used to play on lichess (Atomic). Because "time scrambles" are much less about chess than speed. I tend to play pretty fast, so maybe I'd do better at 5 0 than 3 2, but... I think emphasizing position is what I prefer to emphasizing speed. I was chatting with The Last Atom the other night and he plays mostly G in 30 seconds, it sounded like. I guess if one wants to emphasize speed, that's the way to do it! :-)

Yeah, it's similar for me as well. And my friends also tried to do like 10 seconds 1-second delay which is fun.
