Has Integrand played people on these forums? I never see his games so I actually have no idea what level he is.

I'm actually fairly bad (and rusty). Normally when I play nowadays I just play fun variant games or lightning haha (and haven't even done that in some time). I think there are some other pretty good chess players on BOS though.

Yeah fair enough dude. Am nothing special myself. I think I could get to a decent club level if I made a focused effort on improving certain aspects of my game and sharpened up my rusty tactics but as it stands now I am woefully inconsistent.

What time controls of lightning? I mostly just play blitz as well now, maybe like 10 or 15 mins at the longest unless I am playing against a friend.

I dislike most variants though lol.

Lol, in terms of lightning, usually between 30 seconds and 2 min. In terms of "longest", atm I'd probably play 10-15 min.

In terms of variants, I think the only one atm I like is Crazyhouse. But I think by playing these and super short lightning games a lot, it deteriorates your regular chess ability if you don't practise that too.

I still want to watch the game though.

I just don't think it'll be the spectacle people are hoping for. But OK sure, I'll play sometime hopefully (can't play right now though).

Meh. It's probably not just for the game.

More like leehuan's idols.

Yeah I don't like to play sub 5 mins for that reason (except super casually in certain moods). Am pretty bad at 5 too mostly because I manage time poorly.
