Who likes blitz?

well 60% of people dislike blitz 40% like blitz
I don't hate blitz, but I guess that I feel like there's something strange about trying to give answers to very complicated questions very quickly... I guess I feel like there's something... mindless about it. You're never going to end up thinking a lot. I play this game because I like to think.

I'm glad there's something others like about it...

But after playing a blitz game, win or lose, I feel the need to analyze it later, I mean, I want to understand!... But analyzing a blitz game is like... if I really wanted to know if a position is good or bad... why didn't I play classical? It takes a lot of time to understand a position... In blitz you will never really know...

But also, I really want to improve... if I spend one hour playing bullet... well that one hour could have been spent more productively, like, doing puzzles, or analyzing games, etc... Classical is better for improvment and, to me, it's more fun as well! I like slowing down... chilling and thinking... taking my time, and hopefully really being sure a move is good before playing it!

I guess some people like speed, others like slowness!
