Blitz

Blitz in chess is a fast-paced game where each player has only a limited amount of time, typically 3 to 5 minutes, to make all their moves. This rapid timing requires quick thinking and decision-making, emphasizing intuition and experience over lengthy analysis. The primary goal is to balance speed with accuracy, avoiding mistakes while exploiting opportunities created by the opponent’s hurried play. Blitz is popular for its excitement and accessibility, allowing players to enjoy competitive games without lengthy durations, and it tests both strategic skill and the ability to perform under time pressure.
