Live v. Turn Based Chess
Sort:
I believe the only way to really improve in live games is to play many. You'll get used to the pace, and your brain will recognise patterns faster. It helps when you know a bit about a few openings, have some idea about common endgames, etc. But the best way to learn is to play I think.
well i like both cuz for turn based u can think and for the live chess it helps u think fatser so when u do play 1min. chess u can think under pressure

Is there any way to improve my chess game in "live" games?
I have the same problem and I think that I agree with everyone else above - the more you play the more you recognize patterns in others play but I still have to stop making stupid mistakes.
You should play some more live games to get used to it, but don't play very fast.
When I play in OTB tournaments, the time limit is usually 2 hours per player for all their moves. When I play real time games online, I usually go for at least 45 minutes, and even that can be too fast sometimes.
I do play some quick games of 10 minutes or whatever occasionally, but I go into those knowing that I'm going to blunder horribly. As long as I look over the games afterwards to see what I can learn from them, it's still worth playing them.
