10 minute time limit

Hi @DJJ375,

As people above have mentioned, you can definitely change time controls to longer formats, and don't be afraid of matching with higher rated players, after a few games you will definitely be matched against people of your level.

I would suggest not solely relying on long time formats though. Chess is definitely about thinking and having time to make good decisions, but it's also about seeing as many patterns and positions as you can! If you play "some" shorter time formats, you will expose yourself to more positions and get better faster.

Would recommend playing your long time formats, and then occasionally doing the 10min rapid games as minimum.

Hope this helps,
