If you LOSE every 10 second game or lose any fast games you have came to the right place
In this news (kind of like a blog), I will tell you HOW you, yes you, how 2 win 99% of your fast games!
#1 TRAPS
Yes, traps. You might think I am pretty stupid because everyone knows to look for traps when they're playing. Well, there are some opening traps for fast chess.
#1 Trap - SK (aka SURVIVKING) trap
I made this trap up! It might be already invented but we don't talk about those things. This SK trap works for white and sometimes black too.
TRAP:
This trap might seem stupid, but if your opponent pre-moves, it works fairly well.
There are also some downside for this trap, for example:
I use this trap alot and it works only on people that you haven't played or it will 80% not work.
#2 Trap - Scholar's Mate trap
Yes the scholar's mate trap, played often by beginners. If you are pretty advanced you might not even remember this is a trap, but this trap also works fairly-well in fast games. If you don't know what trap this is, here it is:
TRAP:
But, there are still downsides, two examples are:
and
#3 Trap - Scholar's Mate knight trap (Also made by me)
Once again, another trap made by me which I also don't know if it had been made before or not. It is technacily the same but if you ask me I think it works better because a knight can't be blocked.
TRAP:
Now the downside is:
Since you have read this sentence, I want to tell you that unless you are playing against an super experienced player, or you are one, 10 seconds is about wasting your opponents time and not checkmating. (Also if you saw this sentence, comment 'rE')
#2 CHECKS
Yes, checks, if you read the long sentence on top of the title checks, you will know why this is important.
Checks are the best way to annoy your opponent and waste their time. Although this only works for 10 to 20 second no increament games.
#1 ANNOYING CHECKS 1
These are some tricks to waste your opponents time, I had talked about alot of things for white before (Even tho it also works for black), so this one is gonna be focused on black side.
The downside for this is that your opponent could easily play moves that you don't want them to play and you have to come up with a new plan, after all your plan is to flag them.
#2 ANNOYING CHECKS 2
Second annoying checks, there will only be two in the checks section because afterall the point is to check your opponent.
The downside is that your opponent could easily predict your next moves after the first check.
#3 COMPUTERS AND UNRATED GAMES
No, not using computer engine for your games, no, just no. This is about playing computers and unrated games if you don't want to lose rating points, you can play against different personality AIs and see how these things work on them! They would probably spot it if not under 500 points because they are AIs. (and the lowest time control you can do is 1 minute) So I mostly recommend playing unrated games if you don't want to lose rating. On Chess.com most people that plays 10 seconds are low rated, so I recommend lichess.org if you want to play 15 seconds (because in lichess you can't do 10 seconds). There are alot of people on lichess that plays fast chess. DISCLAMER: I am not promoting lichess.
Ya, that is the end of this news! Its probably the longest news I had ever done so I hope you like it!
