i love speed chess. end of.

That was a comment to 246trini

A couple of things: 1) "positional and defend" are indeed often quite the oposite of each other 2) If you just defend your bound to lose because a good player doesn't usualy make completely unsound moves but ones which require unbelievable precision to counter. 3)Unless you are a computer you won't fight for every tenth of a pawn in blitz. 4)This is not "speed chess" but "blitz chess" 5)Judging by your comments I kinda get the feeling I would have a better than 3:1 winning ratio against you.

1) positional play is not attacking chess. maybe you got confused by tactical 2) obviously i dont just sit and pile all my pieces around the king, i align my pieces up for an attack 3) let's play a blitz game and we'll see just how good you are

holy cow...how long are these 'talking ' lines? they go on forever on how to do this and do that......weird

I dont agree, because defending size make mistakes faster than attacking, just look at the mihael Talj games, when he attacked defenders broke because of the pressure they felt although that they had 1 or 2 hours to think, except if you are botvinik or computer, than you can say this :D

did you read my post? 3:1 win:loss ratio in speed chess, when playing opponents who are 'stronger'/'equal' to me, i play a tight positional games, and they usually make a mistake but i also said loss too, because occasionally i will miss something too (i am human after all) strong chess is based on good strategical/positional play, with tactics as a method to help you improve your position -- be this in material/space/time whatever
