It's been a while since I played chess, not because I didn't want to, but because I haven't had the time to do so, and whenever I get the chance I just play a quick 5 min Blitz game.

I began my Chess campaign on Hive aiming to be a 1500 ELO rating player, and I am still far from that and we are already on the 9th month of the year. Even though I've gotten from 800 to 1200 on Rapid, I dropped to 950 a couple of months ago and I got so frustrated I completely stopped playing this format and focused on playing Blitz.

The reason I decided to play Blitz is to become better at pattern recognition as well as practice my decision making under a stressful time control. Today I had some time and I wanted to give this theory a run for its money and see if I can get back to my previous level of 1200 in Rapid.

I have no idea if I just got lucky or if this new approach to chess is working, but apparently I can win three games in a row against stronger players than me, be able to stop playing, and feel more comfortable with the game and play with more confidence.

It's a short video, I hope you like it and you enjoy the pace and the vibe, any feedback is appreciated!
