I hate blitz. 😫

oof

Yep I'm terrible at it, just can't think quickly.

I just practice to play faster

then dont play blitz 🤯

There are three reasons to play blitz:
1) You have to go to the bathroom and you think you can hold it long enough to get in a quick blitz game but not a rapid game and you don't really care about the outcome.
2) You are already a very strong player, conversant with openings, thousands of tactical patterns, and solid endgame theory, and you know you can solidly hold your own in a blitz game based on years of practice and study.
3) You just want to have fun and bang out a number of games and practice your quickness of vision, etc. Again, referring to reason #1, you don't really care about the outcome, just the experience.

Practice using slower time controls then move up from there. Example: you can go from using 20 min to 10 minutes to blitz. Once you get the hang of it, Blitz will be fun.

I do well enough in slower time controls... Just want to raise the blitz rating but I'm stuck at 600.

Blitz is generally a reflection of your intuition and pattern recognition.
In general, getting better at slower time controls will organically make you better in faster time controls, but very rarely the other way about (there are exceptions, provided you supplement your play with study; solving tactics, middlegame positions and studying openings).

If you don't want to play longer time controls, you can still improve at blitz, but you'll need to commit more time to study; practice solving more tactics, check-mate patterns, endgames, analysing your games etc and your blitz skill will naturally increase.

Thanks.. I'll do that, my main problem in blitz right now is I usually have a good opening, but in a key moment blunder away a piece.. I'll work on tactics and try to avoid blunders. I become a blunder magnet when I don't think.

Actually i agree this is the worst

And 4) Rapid simply takes too long, not very lucrative put 15 trophies on the line and, provided that the game is lost, receive nothing but 10-20 minutes of lost time, especially if someone is literally chasing you for first place with 2 hours to spare...

5) Your rapid rating is too high, you don't want to risk losing rating due to a blunder.

Yes.

@The_Blue_J... Lol yeah so true, I find myself playing blitz because I don't have the attention span to play back to back 10-15-30 minute games, plus if I do blunder I feel it's wasted time if I was already sitting there playing 1 game for 15 minutes. Even though it's probably more of a wasted time to drop 6 in a row in blitz, which in its own right sucks, but it happens. Not to mention I don't want to blow up my rapid rating on top of it. Just sucks that I can get half way into a blitz game with good to great play but then mess it up in the middle game because I lack the ability to A. get aggressive and find attacking opportunities. B. Defend Inaccurately to my opponent's aggressive attacks. Or C. I can't Navigate a pawn storm that I wasn't expecting from the start. Those 3 things mess me up in games where I have to think within a couple seconds. I really want to improve in those areas.

blitz é bom!

what's up?

hello

Blits is not realy that bad

Rationalizations in defense of blitz include "instinctive pattern recognition." Blatantly false for players rated under 1900 standard, though about the only reason titled players, certified experts and some advanced A calibers need it as a training tool. Actual reasons for the web-based epidemic tend to be false sense of superiority, addiction, convenience and most of all: oblivion. Any player reaches some ceiling of time expense beyond which any further investment of time is beyond our aptitude.

I would recommend watching Daniel Naroditsky’s new blitz speedrun. He explains quite well the thought process for blitz games at all levels. 
Hope this helps!
