Nine maps with four races makes 9 * 4 * 4 = 144 different matchups you need to get comfortable with (if you want to be good with all that is!). If you only had a couple of hours to spend I think blitz games would be a better way to learn a new map, unless you are only interested in one specific matchup.

I argue that it's actually 11 * 4 * 4 * 2 = 352. Eleven maps with four races for you to play as and four races for your opponent, and you either play 1st or 2nd. This is assuming we're not considering 2v2, which obviously has way more possibilities.

If you don't get my jokes, it's because of Postmodernism.

RE: Blitz tips
For me the real benefit is not improvement from blitz games, but that I know I will have turns to play regularly during my Outwitters time. It's frustrating to set aside some of your day to play the game only to spend half an hour waiting for someone to take there turn.

It's also possible to create blitz games even when no one responds to your forum posts. Simply start at the bottom of your turn list instead of the top and you will often end up with a rapidly moving game.
