Pogo Chess - ONE Minute Players and Games
In category General chess forum
Written by michaelb
I like to play ONE minute games at Pogo Chess. Each player has 60 seconds to play. You either checkmate the other guy, or he runs out of time. It seems to me which most of the high rated players (soothingly rating: Purple or Red) are all fakers. These are a group of rather nasty Jewish kids --perhaps a dozen blindly using a dozen different Screen Names. They ruin the games for White people, with
