Fast chess is not real chess

"Winning on time" is meaningless.

Anyone could be a perfect chess player if they had an infinite amount of time. Chess is a game of patience and persistence of mind. The faster the time control, the less serious the game is and the less serious you should consider each win and each loss.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER PLAY BLITZ OR BULLET. IT IS A SHAMEFUL WASTE OF TIME.

Rapid is disgustingly fast as well, it is moronic. If there isn't at least an hour on your clock and your opponent's clock, you're wasting your time.

Don't bother even considering the possibility that you are better at chess than I am until you have played at least one classical game against me. If you are egotistical enough to think that any of your wins against me in a faster time control mean anything, then please feel free to block me because I do not even want to give you the respect of acknowledging your existence.
