Strong players in Lightning Chess maintain a repertoire of 2-3 solid openings they can play without thinking, reserving mental energy for the middlegame complications where real money is won or lost. When stakes involve Ethereum (ETH), emotional control separates profitable players from those who tilt after a single loss.
