Go up one level in this thread



Personally, I tend to disregard most computer-computer tournaments
and matches that use fast blitz time controls. Blitz is fun to watch
and play but it's not really chess, IMO. Typically both sides will
make serious errors and the last one to make an error loses. Not
having the programs ponder compounds this problem.

Standard time control games are much more interesting to me.
You're less likely to see elementary tactical errors, and the errors
that do occur are much more interesting and instructive, in
my opinion.
