Nobody is going to try to play over those games. Not when they have to guess at every move, including moves that are not the best ones.
Turn off the "puzzle" flag.
Yes 1400 is amazing! If you're 1400 you're like me which is amazing! Amazing amazing amazing!
that was a joke 1400 is pretty good but it's not outstanding in any way
Why are people still here im probably better than everyone here posted on this ever
You know, this all caught my attention concerning the "good" or "bad" of a 1400 player in Blitz on chess.com. It's one of those things where the worst 1600 player on a "bad" day can easily lose to a good decent 1200 player on his best day. Know what I mean? But all that said, it really comes down to playing a LOT of consistent chess and playing much more that just 10min BLITZ chess day after day, after day. Typically, most tournaments one can enter are NOT Blitz chess, and there are just so many players who are so used to moving very fast...bang, bang, bang!! And when they have to slow down for a game that is 30moves in 60min or something like that, they freak out. Blitz chess is a fairly new option when it comes to the overall realm of chess. I remember when Bobby Fischer played Boris Spassky and would just walk away from the game for minutes at a time when his clock was running. Crazy, right? Psychological warfare. The beauty of chess sometimes is that is a battle of egos, and sometimes that doesn't always turn out to portray a thing of beauty. There's a LOT of emotion involved in the game of chess. All in all, I think it's a beautiful game, the best, most genius game ever invented, and it always works best when we treat both the game and our opponents with respect, and walk away knowing that no matter whether we win or lose, leaving the table as a true lady or gentleman is how you're remembered best sometimes. Enough said I guess, went on a bit of a stroll there. Enjoy the game....live long and prosper.
