General Chess Discussion - Why Bother With Blitz?#1

To me anyway it's just a game of who blunders last. I get a good position and just lose because my time is low and how good my position is doesn't matter anymore. I don't see the point in it unless yo…

@mdinnerspace How would they be shooting themselves in the foot? There are plenty of places in which there is only one provider as an option. The free market does not exist for many as far as ISPs go.

General Chess Discussion - I'm good at tactics problems, but I suck at chess.#22

Are you getting worse? You've won like the last 10 games you've played. Anyway it doesn't look like you blunder much at all. But it does happen sometimes. In this game you played 7.Bf4 even though Bla…
