Which is the Best Chess Format

Come up with your reasons. I'll say Rapid as Bullet is just speed and flagging and just garbage chess. Blitz isn't bad but you play with fear of getting flagged and can't think much. Rapid games are best as you can think and pure chess comes out. I'll say the endgames are a little sloppy as there is a chance of getting flagged in long games. Classical is also good but boring as the hours pass and pass and it starts to feel forever. Also Variant Chess isn't good as it spoils Standard Chess quality and skills. Please tell me your favourite format with reasons. I'll respect your opinion

Rapid with the same reason of yours

TheAnshMishra

as i dont do high level calculations and just do like 5 moves ahead calculation. so i dont need to think for 10 minutes in a row

RaufUsSabid7

Actually I've to think 6-7 moves ahead

TheAnshMishra

but i dont think it takes more than a minute or two

TheAnshMishra

also there is no classical option on chess.com. i have donwloaded the lichedd app on my ipad and put the clock there and play board chess

RaufUsSabid7

One miscalculation and it's over

TheAnshMishra

sorry i meant lichess app

RaufUsSabid7

Classical is basically 30 min + games

TheAnshMishra

yeah i know but that is called rapid in chess.com and there are formats of rreaching the 40 move and getting more time

RaufUsSabid7

Yeah that's tournament time

TheAnshMishra

Well, I agree with the Variant Chess. It shouldn't be played very often, as it can spoil Standard Chess skills. But, I would say the best Chess format for me is Blitz, I won't say bullet as you don't learn anything, and simply blunder pieces or time, and win the game. Rapid I would say, it's for people who like to think and play, but its like in Blitz there is 5+5 and 3+2, so it gives time to think as well.
