Chess with a clock. Blitz being defined as 5 minutes with no increment. Guaranteed to be finished with your game in 10 minutes total.

Warning #1: You will be labeled as a "not real chess" player by the snobs.

Warning #2: Once you tap this vein, there's no turning back to slow chess.

Not for everyone. More for the type that starts a thread starts pounding F5.

False.

Each game has their place.

For a real challenge play Blitz with 4 players 2 on each board. Teammates have opposite colors. Every time you take a piece you give it to your partner and they can place it on their board as their move. You can play where they can place anywhere or that they can only place in traditional starting spots.

I've played some bughouse. Kids love it. Not for me.

I am not a good chess player, but I can absolutely whip my Mac in Crazyhouse.

I am trying to register there, but it is not allowing me to make the checkmate move.

Remember, let the Wookie win.

 

[Hooper31]

Sigh. I waited a whole minute with no game. Will check back in later...

 

[timschochet]

It won't let me register. Sorry

 

[spOOfy]

Used to play this a lot. It's all about making unexpected moves and catching the player off guard with a check. At least, that's the strategy in the 1 min games.

Chess players don't think blitz isn't "real chess". Bullet isn't real chess. Bughouse isn't real chess. Blitz is real chess and has been around forever.

I love cheeseburgers and steaks.

We always called this "Double 5." We would play it during breaks in chess tournaments in high school. A group of us got really really good at it and it was a blast.
