  • 5 Minute blitz this Saturday

    This Saturday, March 5, is scheduled our regular 5 minute blitz at Mom's Cafe. This year, the 15 minute rapid appears more popular. If we cannot get at least 10 players for the blitz we may have to go with the rapid every Saturday.
    Clearly, there are many who find 5 minute chess too fast for them and those who like the fast tempo can get their 'fix' on the internet. Also, the 15 minute control lends itself to 'computer-assist' which many consider 'cheating'. Thus the 15 minute rapid may provide a niche which the internet cannot provide (yay! humans:)).

    So, to vote (with your feet) come to the blitz this Saturday (and post a prediction here - see below).
