recently i've begun to compare myself to the baby bear in the three bears tale=papa bear's porridge was too hot, mama bear's was too cold, and baby bear's was just right etc. i am comparing this to email chess=too cold, blitz chess=too hot, and say half hour timed chess game=just right. i realize i am levelling down for this comparison, but feel i am not alone in this assessment. what do all of you think?

blitz chess is much to hot for me.  the other two are probably just right.

But bears can't play chess. Can they?

i quite like e mail chess. a;though it is very slow people can go at their own pae and dont have to finish a agme straight away. however this is the only way i have played chess online so that may have something to do with my opinion.

Email chess is excellant training for all forms of chess you choose to play.

Blitz chess allows you to familiarize yourself with multiple opening lines, and become comfortable with fast play when necessary, i.e. time trouble. However, it does not improve ones game all by itself.

30 minute or quick chess is good when you are looking for a complete game here or there, but it too leaves you lacking in the end.  

It's not so much a preference as possibly a mental work-out plan. How much improvement are you looking for? etc.

Half hour is still too fast for me. I prefer at least an hour for practice games, and preferably 2-3 hours for tournament games.

i like it ice cold(personal preference). isn't there a quote"revenge is best served cold?" as far as the emotional realm goes,i would think you would be better served going in cold(sans emotion) as heated emotion oft"times messes us up!

Chess is like fish. I am not sure how, but surely there is some possible similarity.
