One of the features of blitz I'm rapidly becoming reacquainted with is its see-saw nature. If you get ahead, you shouldn't assume you'll stay there. By the same token, if you fall behind, you shouldn't think you're doomed. Blitz definitely favors the battling mentality. Yesterday, in the third game I played, I blundered on move five, and went down a piece. I made the best of a bad situation, applying pressure where I could, and avoiding trade-downs. Finally, I was rewarded by a series of blunders from my opponent, and he resigned on move 65 when he had just his king left and I had a king and a pawn with an unimpeded path to promotion.
