Screenshot of my lichess app. As you can see the shorter games are 1 minute with no time added per turn. You have to move fast and not dumb. There are no good moves at that point. In the custom menu you can take it down to 15 seconds. I don’t get it. What if there’s no checkmate in 5 minutes? Do you tally up the captured pieces?

If your clock runs out, you lost the game.

DH has tried to get me to play chess for years. I simply can not remember the moves. I try, but I just can't. Don't have my times tables memorized, either. (I'm dumb like that.) But, I play a mean game of Upwords. I am scarcely ever beaten. If you don't know, it's like Scrabble, plus you play vertically.

Learned when I was 9, Champion of my high school club, played on my college team, rated 1700 with the US chess federation. Hadn't climbed any higher by the time I reached 30 and gave it up. Haven't played since.

Haven't played since. 1700 is well above “Patzer” level. I’ve never been that high, even unofficially. LiChess had me at 1579 or so briefly but now I’m in the 1400s.

Ah 1400 - been there many times after a tournament.
