You can save time by memorizing lines for an opening. For me doing puzzles has helped use less time
Play daily games. Every move resets the time. A 24 hour game definitely can take a week.
So I'm not a real player because I play daily games? Putting people down doesn't raise you up.
I do play rapid but I enjoy daily. So am I like 75% of real player?
Yes daily games are good for you. you can begin 10 games simultaneously.
Try the 15+10 too it's less time than the 30'.
Daily games are the best to improve the tactic, you have long time.
Daily tournaments are fun. Probably funner when I get out of the first round
play 5 minute blitz to learn how to play faster if you're running out of time in 10 minute games
Then play 15 minute or daily games
Select 15/10 for the time option in your next Rapid game. After every move, you are given ten seconds back. It's worked for me.
