But you've played almost 2000 turn-based games on OGS. Do you play your moves there really quickly?
Yes, blitz in slow motion. I have horrible patience (though it seems to be getting a bit better recently).

I've always shied away from blitz because of a lousy internet connection, and play all my games as minimum 20 minutes plus 5 x 30s, and longer if on KGS. My connection has improved recently, and so the possibility now exists. I'm tempted to try after reading this thread, but the thought of 10 seconds a move gives me the absolute willies, I have to say!

You might try Canadian time. The blitz setting is 1 + 3mins / 25 moves. This is still quite quick, but allows you to partition your time better, so that you can spend a bit more time on critical situations.
