  • its played under russian rules^^

  • is this game played under uscf rules?

  • an instructive endgame by white

  • of course I meant sleeve - not collar. U see, when ur sleeve knocks over a piece u cannot hit the clock until u place the piece upright back on the square. This burns up valuable time in a blitz game so adjusting the sleeve is wise. I've played 1000's of blitz games at chess tnmts and clubs over the 30+ yrs I've been a USCF member.

  • Also want to add is that it's routine that GM's and others sadjust thir sleeves during play. When u move at that pace ur collar often knocks over the pieces. The video is NOT sped up.

  • Different organizations draw different distinctions. I'm going by the FIDE terminology.

    Correct, 15 minute games are rapid games, but anything up to (not including) that is a blitz game.

    No, a blitz game is not necessarily a five minute game. All five minute games are blitz games, but not all blitz games are five minute games.

    Yes, elite grandmasters can move their hands that quickly, but I doubt they always elect to shake hands or adjust their sleeves that quickly, hence my suspicion.

  • lol don't pick on the poor sap. Wikipedia says blitz games are "considered" to be 15 mins or less but they are often wrong. I did look up the USCF rules and yes, blitz games are indeed 5 mins with no move increments. 2-min games are "lightning" and 1-min games are "bullet", which is odd because lightning is much faster than a bullet :)

  • It occurs to me that Russell may need clarification on what "G/5 with no delay" means...

    Russy, "G/5" means each side must make their moves in 5 minutes; "no delay" means no added increments.

    "added increments" means no added time per move. For example, russy, some play with 10 seconds (give or take) seconds added to each move. In this case, Russy, that would not be an "official" blitz game.

    I hope my extra simplified answer is understandable to you.

    DAMN, it feels good to be right :)

  • just to make it official:

    refer to The U.S. Chess Federations Official Rules of Chess, 5th edition

    Chapter 11: Blitz chess

    rule # 1

    "Each player must make all his moves in the time specified for the game.

    1a) ...blitz is G/5 with no delay

  • look it up yourself russell...better yet I'll copy & paste for you. Learn boy learn.

    BLITZ RULES

    1. Each player must make all of his moves in the five minutes allotted on his clock. Time delay features may not be used for Blitz.

    this is from the official rules of chess 4th edition
