Blitz in chess (+video)
Hi all! I have repeatedly said that I have been playing chess for more than a year. I used to play standard chess. That is, with an hour timer. Lately I've started playing blitz games and games with a 10-minute timer.
Blitz in chess
Blitz is a lightning fast game. That is, the name comes from the German word Blitz, and means "Lightning". This type of chess originated in London. In 1897. In one of the chess clubs, a tournament was held, where only up to 30 seconds of time were allotted for one move. At the moment, the move is given no more than 5 - 10 seconds.
The peculiarity of blitz is that the player needs to make decisions very quickly and calculate a lot of options.
Standard Rules
As mentioned above, blitz is a game with a time control of up to 10 minutes. Basically, 5 minutes are allotted for the game. In some cases, additional time is allowed. In this situation, no more than 3 - 5 seconds of time is given per move
- You can only play with one hand.
- Do not place your finger on the watch button.
- It is forbidden to hit the button with the palm of your hand.
- It is forbidden to press the button while at the same time preventing the opponent from doing the same.
- In the event of a shift or fall of the pieces, the player corrects the position in due time. That is, reserved specifically for him.
True, do not forget that now you can play through the network. I play on chess.com. Here, the computer monitors compliance with the rules. But, in order to win a game, it is not always enough to be able to play. One of the blitz luminaries, Genrikh Chepukaitis, has repeatedly said that it is important to walk closer to the button. Here it is necessary that the hands are ahead of the movement of thought. In addition, you should not go where your eyes look. You need to make a move in the direction where you have never even looked.
He also made some rules. Or rather, not so much rules as principles. But we'll talk about his strategy next time.
Mikhail Tal became the first world blitz champion in 1988. He is from the USSR. In 2021, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave from France became the champion.
In this video I show how sometimes you can win a game on time.
All the peaceful sky above your head
