From the introduction:
"The game of blitz chess is only a relative of slow chess, as blitz is chess within a time crisis."

While it first appears that five minute chess is no different than the traditional untimed discipline, the contestant eventually concludes that successful blitz play seems to incorporate a certain enigmatic variant to its strategy.

This mysterious strategic adjustment is what Mr. Maxwell has investigated to exhaustion, and Blitz Theory is the culmination of his revolutionary discoveries.

Learn:
-- why the clock is a piece
-- what the cardinal rule is
-- about the soul of blitz
-- to apply the pseudo check
-- the use of trash talking.
