I do not recommend daily. It is inhomogeneous.
Some take it serious and analyse for hours.
Some take it light and analyse for seconds.
Online 15|10 rapid is the best time control for progress.
Over the board it is classical 90|30 or slower.
Should I Play Daily Games?

I appreciate it from the perspective that you get as much time as you want to analyze a chess position. Even if your opponent doesn't play the best line, it's still a real position, and I've seen some great games on the top level of daily, which isn't to say that any of us will ever get there.
When I watched Hikaru's stream, he recommended the one-hour time control for improvement. I believe he said it was better than classical, which is dying on the vine, anyway. When I started playing chess, I played a lot of blitz. That wasn't very good. Slow chess is good.

I like these daily games.
No rush at all. If there is complicated position you may think later.
If you are in waiting line in the bank/grocery shop/anywhere - you always have interesting task to do! Your turn came to order food or talk with clerk - no worries, I will think about the game later.
And of course, games might get better quality.
Chess and internet is perfect combo. Daily chess and mobile phone (which is always with you) is also great combo!

Yes its the only type of game I play so far. It helps calm me down without the worry of time and I can take my time to olay
Daily is great for people who don't have time to sit down and play a live game for an hour
Hello everyone,
I've been playing chess for a while now, and I'm always looking for ways to improve my game. I recently stumbled upon the daily games feature on chess.com, and I'm curious if this is a recognized way of improving my chess skills.
As far as I can tell, not many people use the daily games feature and prefer live games instead. However, I see the daily games feature as a great opportunity to improve my chess skills. It allows me to take my time to think through my moves, which is something that can be challenging during live games.
I also appreciate that I can take breaks between moves, which allows me to come back to the game with a fresh perspective. This is particularly helpful when I get stuck on a difficult move and need time to think through my options.
I'm curious to know what others think about the daily games feature. Have you tried it before? Do you think it's a useful tool for improving your chess game? I'm open to any thoughts or suggestions that can help me improve my chess skills.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!
