There are all levels and ages at the blitz event.
4 and 2 is quite good as it's probably about 5 to 6 minutes for each player for the game
Then there is 5 and 0
Then there is 3 and 2 which gives about 4 to 5 minutes for the game ...unless it's over 60 moves which does happen but not so much.
I prefer 4 and 2 ....just a bit more time...less frantic for the players....with 3 and 2 it's less time not more than with 5 and 0....is this what players want?
A lot of folk find the blitz event very tiring and do not play for this reason.... I do not think 3 and 2 will reduce the time pressure/stress on most players.....possibly there will be more extended time pressures for many. ..
I think Alan's memories of this event a bit yesteryear!
