    Not sure what you meant by "standard" ?

    If you mean training games, I would think anything less than G/30 with delay is inefficient in terms of  improving one's ability play serious games.

    G/15 is still quick in my opinion.

    More time on hand per move is more time to 

    - practice clean analysis till quiescence

    - As a result of the above, is a way to minimize tactical oversights

    - burn on-the-board patterns into your skull ( we tend to remember critical positions better if we've been staring at them for a while!)

    "Standard" is fifteen minutes and longer.

    On chess.com :

    bullet = less than 3 minutes

    blitz = 3-14

    standard = 15 +

    How does the increment affect things? I've played several 10|10 games, which have affected my standard rating, rather than blitz

    Approximately, take into account base time + 60 times the increment but it might not be exactly correct.

    I have found that 8 8 is considered blitz but 10 10 is considered standard.

    So 1-0 is bullet?

    >60min long.

    >10min rapid.

    >3min blitz.

    =<3min bullet.

    <1min stupid.
