1 minute chess is the most stressful thing I've ever played

Just had a few games of chess because, obviously, it allows a game of chess to be played rapidly.

I'll often curse if I blunder in a normal game but I was on the edge of my seat for every bullet game and frequently swore at my inept moves. In my defence, I've never played it before.

Either way it's quite fun but very annoying to lose (or win) on a timeout.

First time posting and I don't know exactly why I am

Some people enjoy 1 minute. I am not one.

Bullet is a lot of fun but a lot of times I don't realize that I've stopped for 10-15 seconds to think until I look at my clock lol

Are there any metrics on "1 min games won by checkmate" versus "1 min games won by just moving randomly, but quickly, in an attempt to get the other person to lose on time?

About 95% of the games I play on chess.com are either vote chess or 1 minute games.

I always have my mouse speed at a max

Avatar of stewardjandstewardj

I think of it as:

50% premoves

10% mouse speed

20% quick thinking

10% knowing when to do random moves to make sure you don't lose on time

10% skill

1 minute chess seems more like a video game than chess.  But, if you like it, that's OK.

and some people even feel jealous when you beat a GM in that and say it's one minute you will be dust in 30 minutes or like that so i never share my 1 minute games.Its not real chess just for fun speed

Avatar of AussieMatey

In 1 minute games I always set my mouse speed at 0.5 of a second per move - so I can get a Max. 120 moves in before losing on time.

You think that it's 50% pre moves?

Here's the version I say i use on iPad-

0% pre moves
0% mouse speed
10% click speed
30% quick thinking
20% opponent not being good at quick thinking
15% skill
20% time management
5% when you have 5 seconds left an are like "RANDOM MOVES!"
