Mastery of the Time Controls
There are many different types of time controls on Chess.com. They can be a challenge because if you think for too long, you'll lose on time, but playing fast may cause you to blunder. Each time control has its own strategies, and that is what I'll get into with this blog.
Classical/Correspondence (60+ min)
Classical and correspondence matches are full of opportunities. You can fully analyze the position and find long, complicated tactics. Don't feel pressured to play, because you can spend much time on a single position (not more than 10 minutes though.) To learn about using your time to find beautiful sacrifices, check out Calculating Ahead. In these types of matches, you may find long tactical sacrifices, like the one below. (Maybe not as complicated)
Rapid (10 - 59 min)
Time may be an issue, so just play at a good pace. Don't take more than 3 minutes on a single move for 10-15 minute matches, and don't take more than 6 minutes for 15+ minute matches. You may not find as long sacrifices, but you may find short tactics.
Blitz (3 - 9 min)
Blitz is where you really need to worry about time. Play fast, and if you need to, quickly analyze the position. There is no time to waste. Also don't resign, because you may always win on time. Blitz is also my favorite chess to watch.
Bullet (1 - 2 minutes)
Here there is no time to think. Play super fast and don't spend more than three seconds on most moves, but in critical moments you can take up to 6 seconds. Play as fast as you possibly can.
Hyper Bullet (Under 1 minute)
Hyper bullet is a premove party. So if you wish to stand a chance, enable premoves.
In hyper bullet, premove as much as possible. Don't think at all. Check your opponent to cancel any of their premoves. Capture pieces to get your opponent's attention. Even if you blunder, do not stop! When you look back at your hyper bullet games, they probably won't be pretty...
And here is the end of the blog. Make sure to tell me in the comments what you thought. 
I hope you enjoyed!
