I was just a guest (without registering) on ICC and had no access so far to the
bases. Since I do not play myself, in special Bullet, I see no reason to pay for
being a spectator. They should really give such a category. Not playing just
having fun while watching. They might also inhibit that such watchers comment.
Is there such a variation?

As to the match, you see what the difference is how the players behave. Of
course normal chess is premature against comps. And Blitz is premature and
pompousness in combination. Makes no sense although many seem to like it.
