Default I just tried MSN chess since Blitzin is dead.

MSN has a Blitz game but it is only 5 min straight. I bet if enough
people asked they would consider changing or adding say a 2/12 game.

I know playing fast is bad for your overall game but I think it is more
fun. Giving more time for more moves seems like the only way to play.

It doesn't have to be a fast game. A 1 min game with 60 seconds per
move would be enough for anybody. With 60 seconds added to the clock,
after the first 10 moves your time would already be up to 9 min.
