chess improvement with daily games

general consensus is playing at least 15 minute time controls is needed to improve, I know Dan Heisman recommends a minimum of 30 minute controls. I'm reading through amateurs mind by Silman, the general focus is identifying dysfunctional and weak thought patterns that contribute to losing. recently I've thought I would start playing correspondence games to allow myself time to really dig in to analyzing positions, identifying imbalances, forming cogent plans and also analyzing my own thought process. The result has been something like a game analysis as I go. I still plan on playing live chess, but in my life it's hard to find time to do that more than once or twice a week. I haven't seen any conversations on this, it seems intuitive that this would be a good way to progress by slowly building good foundational skills and basics but I wonder if I may be wrong in this and would like input from others.

I think that's a very good reason to play daily chess.

You should know, however, that a lot of people play much more rapidly than once a day or once every three days and they expect you to not use your allotted time.

Play Longer Time Controls

For many at the beginner-novice level, speed chess tends to be primarily an exercise in moving pieces around faster than your opponent while avoiding checkmate, in hopes that his/her clock runs out sooner than yours. Or being lucky enough to notice and exploit your opponent’s blunders before they exploit yours.

The point is, there is little time to think about what you should be doing.

It makes sense that taking more time to think about what you should be doing would promote improvement in your chess skills.

An effective way to improve your chess is therefore to play mostly longer time controls, including "daily" chess, so you have time to think about what you should be doing.

This is not to suggest that you should necessarily play exclusively slow time controls or daily games, but they should be a significant percentage of your games, at least as much, if not more so than speed games which, while they may be fun, do almost nothing to promote an understanding of how to play the game well.

With all due respect to earlier comments, I would like to add my idea. I suggest beginners shouldn't play Blitz, Bullet at all. Rapid should be rarely. Best is 30m time control which gives you exact time per move as you get OTB. Correspondence is too slow and analysing one move in two/three days doesn't help much. I suggest take one opening at a time which you want to play (of course select most common one among beginners 1.e4 offshoots Ruy Lopez +Giuoco Piano & their most common replies from Black side.) There are apps where you can analayse various positions & moves on board moving both side pieces. Try to comprehend why first 10-12 moves are like this what are the reasons behind them. With clarity of the reasons behind inital moves this will come your habit to throw pieces at the exact right squares (no need to cram moves, just logic will develop by itself). You will avoid blunders & traps because you now think why a move should be made. Then Try to play 30 minutes games more often. When it becomes ur habit, you are ready for Rapid as you will be developing more solidly than ever. I have re-started chess after a long time.

In Many of Bobby Fischer's Games I wasn't able to understand his move Bb3 (happened in different moves in opening). Even his own annotated 60 memorable games don't tell why he moved Bb3 so many times even when no immediate threat was there. I learnt in some other Book (While preparing Opening Move by move, while trying to understand what are exact logic(s) behind each & every move ) that white doesnt want to relinquish control of A2--F7 diagonal as f7 in opening is the weakest square (being guarded by only King, the weakest guard in openings). It serves a long term Kingside attack plan in some games. So in my view prepare one opening move by move thinking urself + Analyse one game of that Opening by any of your favourite players per day. That will make you comfortable in that particular opening even in rapid as your vision will grow and you will recognise patterns extremely fast. Then you can win most rapid games as the analysis part you have imbibed already.
