I am a libertarian, so i believe in personal responsibility for your actions. i don’t believe the government, or anyone in “authority” should step in and make regulations to “protect us from ourselves.” if iwant to drive 125 mph down the highway not wearing a seatbelt, i should be allowed to.
that said, i think ICC should realize some of us do indeed have problems, and they should take some responsibility.
there needs to be some kind of limit on how many blitz games you can play in one 24 hour period.
ICC is a chess enabler, and if they are gonna be peddling the heroin/crack/meth that is blitz chess, they should at least help mitigate some of the damages.
i have a problem, i admit it. i lost a whole day playing blitz. i started at 9 in the morning, next thing i know, it was 4 fucking pm in the afternoon, i had a headache, i was hungry, i was still unwashed in my pajamas. i played over 100 blitz games in 7 hours. god help me. i was like a heroin addict, neglecting basic human functions like eating and personal hygene for the fleeting thrill of a mate. it’s just like heroin, only i don’t think i can get aids or hepatitus from a shared computer.
so if ICC had some kind of “20 blitz game in a 24 hour limit,” i think this would be helpful. i can’t stop myself, perhaps i need someone to stop me for me. and since blitz is bad for your chess, they would be doing the entire chess world a service, saving kids and adults from ruining thier chess and blitzing thier life away.
