Yes, this time I just berserked and didn't care at all about the quality of the games. I will do that in Arena mode from now on ... My problem is just that others do that, too ... just faster than me. :)

Well, I understand you, I started beserking initially and I wasn't able to meet the speed while playing with a mouse. Am really fast with my mobile, But using a PC now, if I get beserked,I don't berserk back and I try to win faster (I berserk sometimes if the rating gap is much and if I play white).
But I noticed you play really well and lose on time, remember that game you binded me in my pirc opening, I still won on time. But I agree with you that @tungphong has benefited more from your speed issues,those endgames were painful.
Well, I am accustomed to it: I know that if I cannot reach a big middle game advantage, I will probably lose on time or make a big mistake due to time pressure. :)
Swiss-system tournaments without the berserk option are much easier for me to play, and I also like it, if the time control in Arena mode is so fast but with increment (like for example the 2+1) that the berserkers have problems to get enough points.
Of course rapid chess would be optimal for my playing style but I understand that's way too time consuming.
It's completely alright for me if the fast young players get the prizes (they can use the money very well, I guess), but sometimes from a chess players point of view it's annoying to throw away so many games in which I cannot convert my advantages.
