Blitz is full of tricks and traps, this is not chess

Blitz is play fast, non losing moves and spot tactics.
The easier your position is to play the better, even if you're at a slight disadvantage.
If you watch high elo Blitz games you see games swing from -1 to +1 repeatedly and eventually someone spots a tactic or wins a time scramble. Accurate positional play can't be calculated.
That being said, it's still Chess, just a different kind (and I do love it).

So this is chess. This is nonsense, based on some pre-learned dirty tricks, focusing on score, nothing else. Anyone who cant play chess, plays blitz/bullet. thats my final conclusion. Masters may play it for fun, but its just for noobs at lower levels
That looks like a skill issue
That is chess
You many not like it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not chess. I don’t like bullet but I’m not going around saying it’s not chess
You chose to play those moves. It’s your fault

Its not about being faulty.
It's a game that i can never lose this way, i never lost a game like that, and i lost similar games after that one. all for simple mistakes. how can this be chess, guys just play without thinking, with some prepared tricky lines. Are you saying that guy thought this line and played it immidiately? Or he already knew this tricky thing and using it all the time?
You probably have some blitz score, that you desperately wanna protect, and declining the fact.
So what your saying is that you didn’t blunder but lost in less the 15 moves. You are lying to yourself

You do realize that "real" chess players who play classical could consider rapid as in the same boat as blitz/bullet? Blitz, bullet and rapid are just different time controls and aren't considered variants for a reason.
If they were not chess, they would be considered a variant.
Sure, it requires a different mindset than classical chess, one more focused on tactical vision versus positional play.
In fact, your argument that masters play it for fun, and at lower levels its "not chess", you do realize that the same could be said about rapid chess? Rapid games below a certain rating are just so bad that they can literally not be considered chess. For blitz and bullet, that rating threshold might be a little higher. After that, "real" chess is played.

@EndZoneX Thanks for the serious reply, you made some points I'll think about them.
The only difference is the time. Your blaming the other people on the other side just because their better then you. There is no difference but the time idiotic narcissist

That's a pretty brutal trap but fact is you didn't calculate what happens after Ke8.
I'm not arguing against the fact that Blitz has dubious trappy lines btw. I think I kinda covered that lol. I'm just saying that Blitz is more than "tricks and traps", basically Blitz is about making non-losing moves fast and spotting tactics.

Sounds to me like someone hasn’t been doing his tactics. Refuting tricks and traps is an essential skill in chess (calculation) just fast.
