I like speed chess or blitz. Perhaps because I like aggressive playing and daring (read stupid) attacks going for mate, which never would succeed in a 2 hour game.

Anyhow, blitz is fun and trains chess intuition, at least I like to tell myself that. Of course a 3 min game falls apart when analysed outside these time constraints, but some games can actually look very neat and involve some fast and creative thinking. Not to mention you often succumb to getting stuck in your own planing, completely missing what the opponent has in mind for you.

As a token I present to you a 3 min blitz played yesterday on Fics. Excuse me if it looks like "showing of" a mate in 15 moves, but perhaps someone will find it amusing. Not spectacular, but example of what a sacrificing player want from a blitz session . :|\

1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. f4 Nf6 4. Nf3 d6 5. O-O Be7 6. Bxf7+ Kxf7
7. Ng5+ Ke8 8. fxe5 dxe5 9. Nc3 Bg4 10. Qe1 h6 11. Qh4 Kd7
12. Rxf6 Bxf6 13. Qxg4+ Ke7 14. Qe6+ Kf8 15. Qf7#
