i see a lot of players that are thinking 15, 20m on move and i cannot understend what they are looking at.

can someone explain me how to use my time at classical chess?

Hi @YairPlatin, I would love to explain it to you. As a player with quite some experience, classical chess is all about thinking and taking your time to find the best moves in the position. Unlike blitz and rapid, which are faster time controls, it would be good if you can find the best moves to maintain an advantage or capitalise on an opponent's mistake. Hope this helps!

Depending on the complexity of the position. If you are in a sharp middlegame you should probably be more careful and take more time to evaluate.

I suggest you join some clubs and start playing daily chess. That will help you learn classical and help improve your game because you can use the "Analysis" feature which has helped me.

More to the point, classical chess is about taking time to analyse positions. So you have to be patient and learn to exercise the brain on how to in vision what the board will look like in multiple moves and in multiple scenarios, then pick the scenario which best suits you and your risk level.

In addition to this, you will also learn how important blunders, mistakes and misses are because you put so much time into a game that your mistakes will count rather than just quitting and moving on to the next game. Since using this strategy, I have not once resigned a game no matter what position I am in. I will always fight and make the opponent check mate me. Sometimes I get a lucky draw or even a time out so you never know what position may end up in your favor.

Hope it helps, good luck.

There are only two reasons you would ever make a move in chess: 1. You would argue in front of a room full of grandmasters that your selected move is the best move for you. 2. Time constraints prevent you from thinking about the move any longer. If neither of those conditions are met, you should think some more about the position.

The most likely problem is you suffer from "looksgooditis." You might not consider the full breadth of candidate moves fulfilling all positional matters because you are used to playing blitz, where tactics are practically the only thing that counts. So you might just be playing the first move that comes to mind that seems to make a threat and doesn't lose material. It might just be a case of "you don't know what you don't know," and you may have to consume some content, books, or courses to give you an idea of extra-tactical ideas you should be looking for.

Try playing some correspondence, ''daily chess'', as it's called around here. I sometimes think about a move for days. Not constantly, of course, but I'll come back to the position several times, if it's a difficult decision. If you make an error early in the game, it's very likely to cost you the full game, but you have to drag on for 35 more moves. That's not very nice, so you want to make the right moves, to not have to suffer for the rest of the game. These difficult moves are not some crazy combinations, but rather positional moves in the late opening / early middle game stage.
