Playing with a disadvantage
Sort:
If one player is playing 3/0 blitz on his android app and his opponent is on his laptop using a mouse to make his moves, does either have an advantage? Assuming of course that each player is of equal strength.

Of course, playing with a stable fast connection is essential to playing fast blitz successfully. I would assume that anyone playing 3 0 blitz either must have a stable fast connection or is a glutton for punishment.
Thanks, I am one of the worse players here, but as soon as I started playing 3/0 on my laptop my rating jumped up almost 200 points.
I actually found bullet was better on my mobile phone because the board was so small so 'travel time' between the starting square and ending square was reduced. The internet connection is a different story though.
Playing on the computer also seems to have a different visual effect because the board is so much larger. Things become more apparent like hanging pieces or pawn control. At least that's what I found.
