Do you write your moves when playing blitz over the board?

I don't think I will going to have time for that. So is it ok not to write down the moves as arbiters often time ask to submit the moves after playing a game  in Standard time control

You write when you have time

I guss yes

If I recall, usually in a long-control over-the-board game, moves are not required to be written once a player's clock has reached the 5 minute (or lower) mark.

 

I am not sure of the rules for over-the-board blitz, but I don't think you are required to do the writing.

 

Well, if you are confident of winning a game while low on time, you can continue to write moves ahead. Maybe you will be remembered for an honourable win in one such particular game.

No.
8.4 If a player has less than five minutes left on his clock at some stage in a period and does
not have additional time of 30 seconds or more added with each move, then for the
remainder of the period he is not obliged to meet the requirements of Article 8.1.
Immediately after one flag has fallen the player must update his scoresheet completely
before moving a piece on the chessboard.

A.1 A ‘Rapidplay’ game is one where either all the moves must be made in a fixed time of at least 15 minutes but less than 60 minutes for each player; or the time allotted + 60 times any
increment is at least 15 minutes, but less than 60 minutes for each player.
A.2 Players do not need to record the moves.

Notation in Blitz and Rapid is not required.

Though you might see some players do so.

not at all.  thats preposterous and very unrealistic with the time management facet of blitz.

Personally I do.

every tenth of a second counts.  For example, have had a plethora of games where won because of only .1 left on the clock, and vice versa, if only had a little extra bit of time would have pulled it off, so dont really see why you would write down your games, unless you like making life hard on yourself, which hey sometimes that has some hidden unforeseen gems down the road!

Some players would like to review complete games of their own. Not copying down moves result in "incomplete" games.

 

Of course, it depends on your priority and whether your time management is good.

The OP meant over the-board. Not online.

most of the time writing moves only happens in classical...blitz writing moves will most likely lead to u losing on time =)
