Question? How our your mouses holding up? How about water and food how do you manage that while playing? I like to try to play that many games in that time period.


Mouse? Get a good quality, high-res gamer model.

Eating, drinking and ??? That's what you have two hands for.

Never heard of a high-res gamer mouse, but I definitely am not happy with mine for blitz. Could you provide a link for an example? Thanks. Smile

Maybe I could gain a few seconds on the clock! Laughing

I use a razor mouse (because I'm a reformed gamer, I can't really believe you need one for blitz... but if you don't like the one you have give these a whirl)-- the one in the link  ... it's a high quality product -- five stars.

60 bucks for a mouse. Ouch! I like current my mouse now. Smile

I have played blitz ( 5-0 and 3-0 ) chess with a friend of mine for more than 12 hours straight before.... on several opportunities. Once we did this at a 24 hour burger joint ( Hardee's I believe ). We used to refer to that particular burger joint as our " chess club " .


What hurt more when you were done?  Your guts or your brain?

Actually, I just remembered something....

A few years ago I took part  in a Guiness Record attempt, where some stroing South African players were attempting a record for the most continuous Blitz games.  (I wasn't a 'strong player', I was a victim :(  There were some stipulations about minimum opponent strength, required win percentage,  and I think they were allowed a 10 minute break every two hours. It went for a few days, I'm not sure if the record was ever ratified.

I remember it was won by Jaco Nelson, and I lost about 30 games straight against IM Amon Simontowe....
