What is the defenition of "blitz chess" by the way? Is it 5min or less per player, per game? What about if one plays with digital clocks and increnment? Is "2 12", regarded as blitz? |

I would call blitz your example and any example where the total time for, say, 40/60 moves is less than 15 minutes. Alex |
