Hello
I play blitz 3+0 minutes and want to play 15+0 minutes.Is this time standart time control or its blitz
I want to know what is minimum standard time control?
Shivsky
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!)
I want to play in this time control, and don't know what is the minimum time control...

"Standard" is fifteen minutes and longer.
Thanks Shivsky and Bur_Oak...

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.
