Good/Day everyone: Perhaps im behind the times concerning the gme of chess. I
thought the name of the game was to check/mate the king. So how can a five or
ten min game determin who won the game, when the time has ran out and there is
no check/mate, you mean to tell me that the time has taken the check/mate rule.
Unless the game is determin at the end of the five or ten min/game who may have
had the upper/hand or winning position. Most people who play Blitz, cant win at
longer time controls, because they depend on the clock to do it for them or the
time. There has never been a war that was won in five to ten Min. And the game
of chess my frinds is a game of war, and the king must be check/mated. So in my
humble opion any Blitz game is not a chess game, in most cases the king has not
been check/mated or there is no draw, stalemate etc, you guys know the rules. So
the Blitz games have been added, and are not really part of the chess rules.
Respectfully/William
