There are also a number of things that help in a number of interfaces, such as mouse set-up and the set-up for the move on screen. I wouldn't assume because you play 1/0 and lose on time you are playing a computer. Plus some blitz players play so much that it might appear you are playing immediately but you really are not, not compared to their speed. Also a number of places have no direct computer link ups so playing a computer at 1/0 would be impossible. UltraB
