white 1900 black 1100?
Can you guess the rating of WHITE?
Sort:
I'd say white would be around 1400 while black around 1300
I don't think so. Black makes way too many blunders for 1300, and white plays too tactically for 1400.
I say white's 1700, black's 900-1100
white 1500, black 1350 ?
White 1700, Black 1100?

I say that 5 min blitz is not real chess and that many strong players r weak blitz players. Perhaspe that is why the USCF has diferent ratings for Blitz and for Real chess games over 30 mins.
If u enjoy the game of chess ratings should not be that BIG of a deal away!!!
Thanks for reading and for disagreeing with me you have the right to be wrong!

I agree... my online chess rating is 1709, long 1620....... blitz around 1360 quick around 1300 
1650
13.Bf4~! seems to win a Queen too ... for a piece that is. (Instead of moving the N that restricts the BL queens movement and offers fork+ potential )
1450
Woah... black really sucked then! He was probably underestimating white.
It's opposite day. Or the 1200 likes blitz and the 1600 likes tournament chess. ;)
I was thinking white was definitely higher rated than black! But black with such a higher rating definitely displayed a poorer game - although in a blitz game, these things can happen.
oh yeah, those USFC guys are tough!
Wow
But there are different strategies that can be adopted in a fast game, other than trying to play perfectly or as in a tournament game. Black might have been trying to induce his opponent to spend more time for example in trying to win it on the board. Like perhaps putting his Queen into the fray so WT might spend more time to figure out how to trap it ?! 
Well it works on me anyway. I know a couple opponents who will try to complicate to the point where it "gets interesting", knowing I'm likely to "go postal" in the sense of spending all day "looking for the mate" in a 5 min game ... if that's what it takes. Of course, sometimes it Will BE There. 
(I hope)
We played this tournament over the weekend. This particular game was interesting, considering the differences in rating. Black got caught totally off guard. Can you guess the rating of the the winner, WHITE? It's a 5 0 blitz game.
