it’s kind of like if you have 3 hours to paint someone’s portrait vs you have 60 seconds.

Technically, it’s still art.

Well that didn’t turn out well. Trust me if whitespace carried over, it would have been a work of art

Good post.

Here's the thing...it depends why you play chess.  If you play chess to be competitive against others and win at *something*, then blitz and bullet are fine.  If you play chess to strive for beautiful and elegant chess games, and are competing with yourself to improve your ability to do that, then blitz and bullet are less than worthless, they actually damage your ability to do this.  Call it the Nakamura Effect.

Blitz and bullets are for practising speed in low time situations and are fun to play. grin.png

I mean even HyperBullet is chess because chess is chess

C’mon hyperbullet isn’t chess

By definition, it is chess, unless you would like to come up with a different one than what Wikipedia, Meriam Webster, etc. It just doesn’t feel like you have time to think.

Hyperbullet is a forced win for black because White’s clock will run out first

.1 seconds per premove. White goes first. If everyone premoves, black wins.

I know. The chances are low to near impossible, but black does have a tiny, tiny advantage.

When normally White is the triumphant one

Chess is what I say it is. Bullet and Blitz are Ducky Dung.

Blitz can be really helpful, you save time and you think of new ideas. It is mostly about the way you calculate and how you control your time. Bullet I'd just say is for fun. Sometimes chess gets boring staring at a screen for 30mins-1hr.
