 Subject: Is it true or not?Message: Is it true or not?.A strong blitz player is also a strong player in longer time control and vice versa. |
| jjw109 11/25/2004 11:14:47 [ report this post ] | Probably true for some but not for others. Message: Look at ICC for example--you'll see GMs with relatively low ratings, and non-GMs with really high ratings. |

And of course there's just some people that do not cope with time management in blitz games very well. |

If theyre not really old and actually function slower. Then some players may play thousands and thousands of blitz games while others seldom blitz at all. |

| honololou 11/27/2004 13:52:45 [ report this post ] | I would guess� Message: that there would be little correlation between one's ability at blitz vs. correspondence chess. Blitz play rewards sharp lines and novel positions�things that most decent correspondence players can refute with a little time and analysis. Really they are two totally different games. |
