a mate in 1 that I am surprised to read that a lot miss

Post by Uri Blass »


This is from lichess.
I am surprised that this game happened relatively often also for other reasons:
1)Why do strong player play the dubious 2...f5 in blitz?
2)What is the reason that they play the inaccuracy 6.Ne3 that is against chess principles(not to move the same piece twice without a good reason)?

If you ask what I mean by relatively often then I find
15 blitz and bullet game for the position before 11.c7 when the average of rating of the players is above 2500 and total number of 77 blitz and bullet games(and in many of them white blundered mate in 1)

Play slowly. Quickly to conserve time on the clock is not always best. My coach told me so before in the World Open back in Philadelphia. 2003 if I recall.
