How Not To Play Chess

The general theme of the thread is correct.

The stonger OTB players do clean up at the blitz tournaments.
The Chess is Chess statement is correct.

I won a few OTB blitz tournaments in my time and once every few weeks
spend a whole day blitzing with an IM friend of mine.
I give as good as I get though he wins the most.

The difference I've found on net blitz is the physical act of moving the pieces.
I'd be OK if I could shout out the moves. I see all the good stuff quickly enough
but am so slow in getting the mouse to lift the piece and move it.
A large portion of my losses are lost on time in good/winning positions
or clumsy mouse slips.
Consequently I think I have won about 3 games at bullet chess and lost dozens.
I never play bullet these days. You need to be reasonable at chess (I have that box ticked)
but also have the re-actions of a fighter pilot. (not ticked.)

I only played a couple blitz games on RHP, but I did not remember that you do not have to click "Enter" after your move like the regular chess on here.
