Christianity is the biggest oxymoron of human beliefs: absolute truth in a surrounding of lies; evidence found where no one can go; procuring infallibility by overlooking dead-ends to exist beyond the ends. It's logical to assume anything with a shred of evidence is true. It's logical to assume anything with a shred of evidence is not true. Either way, emerges an assumption. Infinite thought in a finite world, henceforth, an impossible internalization. Somber, it is, when an individual is maddened at the inquirer in consequence of being unable to answer a question. Believe in aliens and Santa Clause." Small excerpt from his Xanga http://www.xanga.com/l3randt hes too smart for all of you so stop trying | ||

I do not enjoy playing there though, so I play at FICS (hence the name i use). FICS has a friendlier atmosphere, some decent admins, and best of all, it is free. check it out at freechess.org ICC is also doing away with guests playing games there, which I think is a big detractor for them, a lot of people take advantage of that and play for free there, but they probably get members from that pool. I'm thinking of picking up an account there anyway, to get in on some action, when you are +2000, it is hard sometimes to get good games on fics and dude, no offense intended to yahoo users, but Yahoo?? yahoo is quite possibly the worst online chess server. it has rampant cheating, no timeseal built in so lag is horrible for the game, and has such a bad interface for playing. if you want to play for free, check out freechess. ICC is by far the best server online, FICS is probably second, and there is USCL, Yahoo, Chess.net, and PlayChess.. but the last 4 are really poor environments for players, they have either abusive admins, no admins, or no good players. This is spot-on. I have an ICC membership because of all the things you get from Grandmaster lectures and simuls, to 30 people on hand at a time to answer a question, to non-stop tournaments... I could go on and on but if you want to approach Chess like PGTour then you should get ICC, if you want to just play on B.net then get FICS. | ||

Would be interesting to know more about the Results of the investigation. In my Chess Club some of the Higherranked Player (about 5% of them) play blitz a lot stronger than they play 2h/40Move chess, - about +150 elo and beat players they would normally not win against. | ||

It's like how every Starcraft pro is very good at microing but that doesn't mean that the best progamer is the best microer. | ||

So a 2200 FIDE player will generally not lose a Blitz game to an 1800 FIDE player, even if the 1800 player is better at Blitz than he is at regular play. However, the higher the skill level the smaller the differences become at which point it is quite possible for a 2600 GM to beat a 2800 GM that rarely plays Blitz games. The difference between a 2600 GM and a top GM can be found in factors like calculation power, tournament and game stamina, thorough opening preparation and deep endgame understanding. Blitz games just cut out certain aspects of the game (calculation power mostly, but things like opening preparation aren't as important in Blitz games as they are in tournament play either) and focus on a select few aspects of the game (tactics and chess instinct/experience for Blitz basically). It's like how every Starcraft pro is very good at microing but that doesn't mean that the best progamer is the best microer. good post it is really interesting breaking apart how people play at different time controls and in different conditions. the best (probably still the best) speed chess player in the world is a guy on ICC named "Hawkeye." He's a Grandmaster; however, he's been the best in the world for a really long time and during his reign he was not always a GM - he was an IM and an FM (which are steps down from Grandmaster level) He would frequently DESTROY the top people of the game at 1 minute chess games even though he was not the better player at slow games. Sort of reminds me of B.net people playing ladder at FAST speed back in the day. chess is a lot of fun, i've played about 1000 blitz games (speed 3-14 minutes a game) and 30,000+ lightning (1 minute games) they are so addictive | ||
