I've played 3 minute chess for many years, more recently on another site. On coming back here, most of my opponents are playing much faster than on the other site, and quicker than I remember.
So my opponents aren't playing 3 minute chess - they're playing bullet, at least initially. Some I checkmate with them having used less than 15 seconds of their clock on a 3 minute game, other games end with less than half clock time being used, others have 85+ moves in a 3 minute game.
I wondered if anyone feels that the pace of play has increased?
Of course, the best response is to play at a normal pace and take advantages of my opponents' blunders, but this is hard to do especially since I normally try hard to be up a little on the clock!
