Keep speed chess and its hyponym blitz chess. It's a different game. DAVilla 14:58, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

How so? It's still chess but with a shorter time control than classical chess. But for the time, every single rule of the game is the same. Imetsia (talk) 20:24, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

The time makes a significant difference. The game plays differently. While the board rules are the same, there are different rules with regard to tournaments. In particular, moves are not recorded by the players. And it didn't used to be that the board rules were the same. It used to be possible to capture the king, ending the game. I wouldn't doubt it's still played this way outside of tournaments. DAVilla 04:14, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Weak keep. Lemmings for speed chess: [1] [2]. Lemming for blitz chess: [3]. Not great lemmings, I admit, but probably better to have than not. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 10:36, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
