I prefer increment in blitz games. Like 3min+2sec

Round 4 vs Gupta : r2r2k1/1q3ppp/4p3/N1n5/Rb6/BPp1P1P1/5P1P/2Q2RK1 b - - 0 21 It seems to me that Firouzja needs to improve his technique. [Event "Asian Continental-ch Open 2019"] [Site "XingTai"] [Date "2019.06.10"] [Round "4.2"] [White "Gupta, Abhijeet"] [Black "Firouzja, Alireza"] [Result "0-1"] ...

Against 1. f4 I would answer 1... d5 called reversed dutch opening.

Both players blundered badly on move 26.

I doubt they are blunders. Finding such moves and playing them are tense.
