Fine game vs. stronger opponent.

I dont think 5 minute games are worth posting.  This is why we have turn-based chess.

Why are they not worth? I created if not more, that the same amount of brilliance in live games as I did in CC chess.

 If you can look at that game and seriously say that then you need to take more time over your postal games.  Plus posting a win when from a drawn position he has hung his own rook...

I thought it was a good game to watch

Its not win or loss that is important. And this was unrated game if it matters to you. And I was not talking about this game when I said brilliance. This is far from good. As Anthony said, black had forced mate. But black missed it, I missed it. If he saw it, game would be even more interesting to watch.

Maybe in CC that would be drawn, but here, in live when I had 20 more sec. of time, game is far from draw.

I like live more, it is real test of what you have learned, and how well do you understand chess. No analysis board there mate. No time to take a nap before every move. If you want to refute my unsound sac, you will have to spend some time that means something in live chess.

And games are more dynamic, more interesting, they have more pace, and more tactic. And I can be almost sure that not every 1300 player will be able to go with 10 book moves of French Tarrasch, even if he has no idea who Tarrasch was.

 agree


It's simple: Don't like, don't see, don't comment...

Streps, I love your 5 min games, but as you can see some people doesn't... So, in the future, just explain the game time in the thread title...

I hope this way, people who doesn't like can keep themselves away...
