Reducing blitz addiction. How do you do it? :)

This year I plan on returning to FIDE/CFC rated tournaments and plan on using Lichess to train.

Then I decide to play 5 blitz games. 40 Blitz games later, I just drained the valuable opening lines I studied. :P

How does the average tourney player wean blitz addiction?

embrace it

I find that the best solution to blitz addiction is to replace it with a more beneficial addiction, such as an ultrabullet addiction.

As my old Kung Fu master always said: In order to gain more self-discipline, put a lock on your fridge.

@TheBigDecline

Do I have to throw the lock away too? :)

I guess you could compare blitzing away to binging on sugary snacks. Bad for your system...or in this case, chess development and attention span.

Don’t forget the cold turkey!
