Since joining chess.com and reading these topics I have been surprised at how many people belittle others because they do not agree with them. The topic brought up about fast or slow chess is amusing to me. Jollymann said it well when he said: " I think it's rather lame to consider that anyone who takes his deliberate time thinking about his moves is weak or slow thinking. Maybe he's strong and normal thinking. Maybe he doesn't like making half-witted moves where blunders are bound to happen. I'm sure that lots of others who are greats in the game, masters and such, loath bullet style or speed chess conditions."
I enjoy chess anyway my opponent may wants to play. One of my friends and I play OTB chess without any time limit, and our games average around 2 and half hours. It doesn't seem that long. However, a good blitz game is fun, too. I don't loath any form of chess.
Let this be the last time it bothers you! It happened to me too. I had to go away. The checkmate was inevetable. It WAS checkmate. It could only be delayed by putting a piece to block it, it would get eaten, and mate. There were 7 minutes left on the clock. I resigned!
I lost points but who cares? I hope to not see topics like this anymore.
