I've played it. One of the leagues we played in held a lightning competition every year. I didn't really like it but it was fun in its way. Think I won it one year. David Bronstein was a friend of the person who organised it and sometimes used to stay at his house and play in a local otb tournament.
It was done with a tape or a cd with a buzzer every 10 secs.
Who here has heard of Lightning Chess?
Sort:
I always thought it was a normal game of chess, but the loser gets electrocuted.
I would play if it is 32 secs bronstein.
