Your thoughts on 30 second chess

'I play way too much blitz chess. It rots the brain just as surely as alcohol.' - GM Nigel Short

I don't like it.

My favourite time control. It's just a shame it takes so long to find an opponent.

Because 30 Seconds is already not chess, but more like killing every pieces above board without any point.

LOL

GYG same thing here it takes so long for me to find an opponent. we should play sometime

It would take me more than 30 seconds to tell you what i really think about 30 second chess.

the 30 second tournaments are always a lot of fun. if you play you will see me around!

30 seconds chess is too short time for think about your position, so it's not suitable for learning

yes, it is not suitable for learning, but it is a fun type of chess that you can play if you want something more extreme

i would say we should not even call it chess. the creativity factor is zero and winning is relied only on making fast moves with no thinking and saving time on the clock

yes you are true. anything below 1minute time control should not be considerd chess

Sometimes it can be fun to play if you want some fun!

Yeah, I have a friend with whom we play 1 second game with 1 second increment per move OVER THE BOARD. It’s great fun and flagging doesn’t always happen as we both play very fast. Compared to that 30s bullet ONLINE feels super slow. I love bullet no matter what

I mean bro if you like playing it, go ahead, but ill judge you for it

One of the best time controls, not as good as ultra of course
