Hi!

I don't know if this counts, but I've played 2 or 3 TOURNAMENT games that I've consumed less than a minute for all of my moves. And that includes writing down the moves! ;)

This was, of course, when I was younger, played faster, and my opponents fell into an opening trap.

Two I remember. On stared off with being 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f6 (Damianos' Defence) 3.Nxe5! fxe5 4.Qh5+ Kf7 6.Bc4+ and Black was quickly mated. The other was 1.e4 e5 2.f4 f6? 3.fxe5 fxe5? 4.Qh5+ and again Black was mated quickly. 

Ah! The memories of being a teenager! ;)

i want to mention that this is a 1 minute bullet game, not some 1/2 thing or correspondence...

Hmm, how fast can I play 72 moves in 60 seconds?  Lets see, add 4, carry the two... roughly 1 and 1/6 move per second. (edit)

In fact that's exactly how fast everyone would play it Laughing

BTW chess.com 1/0 is more like... 2/0 or 3/0 many times Wink

The board became dead locked at move 37. Why not just offer a draw somewhere in there after the 50 move rule (move 87) instead of playing many fruitless moves?

And it is more a matter of dexterity than skill at that point, white could have just played Kb3 Ka4 Kb3 Ka4 forever with black having no where to make progress, and black could have just done Ke6 Kd7 Ke6 Kd7 forever as well with white making no progress.

Seems pretty pointless to me for you guys to play an additional 2517 moves you say?

My point being... Why play a position that is clearly a draw with absolutely no way for either side to make progress for so long?

50,000+ assuming i have premoves and i'm not thinking, along with glucose and water injected into me. Without premoves, i would say 100, assuming that i wasn't thinking hard

And, i need coffee

Seriously, i usually move about 30-50 times per game. Moving from check takes 2 or 3 seconds, and i usually move 2 times every 3 seconds

 Of course 72.KxQ it's a better response to 71. ...Qd5+.
