1 second per game? That's ridiculous. Every game would be lost on time. It would
simply be who could generate ONE move and make it the fastest as long as it
didn't move you into a mate in 2 you're safe. Maybe my exact number is off, like
maybe a mate in 4 could be detected, but it's just who can make a move that
doesn't kill you the fastest. What does that prove? If it's for fun, knock
yourself out, but I don't think it'll prove anything. I don't think blitz
matches prove anything. I'm particularly only interested in more legitimate time
controls. Blitz matches are fun since you can play the whole thing in a short
amount of time and have many games and many participants, but I don't think it
proves much.
