Ice in the Fire Zone

After Crazyhouse appeared on lichess in 2016, the most competitive gaming scene in the world gradually emerged there. Groups of old FICS players came along with many new fans. In the era of chess sites played directly in the browser, the community acquired a real sporting spirit.

A crazy player or a bugger - he waits days and weeks, keeping attention. The first years of the game are insane, and discipline matters. Chess education plays a significant role in the player's background. And two or three years of the game is enough to reach the 2000+ rating in ZH. But there are many weak chess players who once left entirely in Crazyhouse or Bug. Sometimes it gives birth to original styles.

Classic players are stronger in defense. While strong crazy will tend to attack, the classics will act like a boa. We know that super grandmasters will be strong in the game. We also know that they will have to find out what crazyhouse effect. Caruana could not rise above 2600 and studying his games, I saw how he loses interest and is quickly destroyed.

In an article about the most popular computer game in history the author very precisely indicates the psychology of the game.

This is a good point about the controversial "waste of time" and psychological dependence on the game. This is well known in the history of chess and is especially relevant for online chess. I think online chess is more “pure”, free from social environment.

Bobby Fisher said that he did not believe in psychology, although his story is one of the brightest psychological cases. Chess on the Internet gives rise to another psychology. That which leads to hidden dissatisfaction in classical chess is absolutely hyperbolized in chess variants.

In the world Crazyhouse there are historically many strange, vain, gloomy and toxic players. They open and close their accounts as they evolve. Sometimes they slow down, sometimes they turn into some kind of personality. It started yet FICS and sometimes you can find the history of manipulation of that time.

JannLee in his only interview said well "the fire" what is born in Crazyhouse and creates a crazy brain.
