    No reason to keep it on the screen. It's just an annoying reminder that we used to be able to play blitz.

    Actually, I would prefer to see more options for live games here at RHP.

    I understand that games with longer time-limits (10-15-30 minutes per side) are susceptible to engine-cheaters, but we are already taking that chance with our correspondence-only format.

    I currently visit another site to play live games, but I'd much rather play them here. My humble opinion welcomes rebuttal.

    Don't some people still use it?
    If so, why remove it?

    Fair enough. Maybe a "blitz date" can be arranged. I just never see anyone playing in there any more.

    Some may still want to play blitz. Personally I haven't played a game in years, but that is just me.

    We have struggled with blitz in the past, but I will be relaunching it with a better back end at some point. This hopefully will improve the current situation as I'm hoping a cloud based service can remove many of the headaches from the past caused by the blitz feature, and improve stability considerably.
