Should I stop playing Blitz?

Hello everyone, 

First of all, I would like to apologize for my poor written English. I am actually a French teacher and English is not my second language.

The main goal of this post is to ask you about the impact of playing Blitz while learning to play chess. I started to play 1 month ago and I've reached 1100 elo after 400 games (playing 10 minutes games), which is in my opinion a quite decent amount of games for reaching this elo. 

I have recently read here that 10 minutes is not an interesting time control for beginners, but I do have learnt a lot since I started playing. Should I quit Blitz games or keep on improving? I can say I'm not stuck in this elo by the moment, I just keep improving each day I play.

Thank you all! 

You will probably reach a plateau where further improvement is difficult, but who cares if you're playing just for fun?   A traditionalist view is that only by thinking deeply about the consequences of each move can you continue to improve.  If your goal is to join a club and play traditional slow chess, then they are probably correct, but is that your goal?  As long as you review each game and aren't blindly "perfecting your mistakes", there is no reason you can't get quite a lot better.  Of course you could also hedge your bets by playing some longer time controls as well as blitz.  Maybe even try some "daily" correspondence chess where your goal is to try and craft a perfect game?  

Well, I would recommend to go play some longer games (Rapid - 30 min each).

With a longer time control you can evaluate more candidates moves and calculate deeply. 

And when you loose a longer game, your analyse will be much more rich for your understanding of the game.

In fact, I would really like to play chess in a more formal way, but I don't know if I would get well on a local club. I just want to improve as much as I can  

Slower time controls will probably speed up your improvement. Blitz can be helpful too, but not as much.

But unless you need to pay your bills by playing chess, I don't see why you should stop doing what you are enjoying just to gain a few elo points...

Maybe some rapid chess for improvement, and some Blitz for fun?

@Arriate55: If that's your eventual postCorona goal, then, yeah you need to play some longer games as well.  Most clubs nowadays have a blitz night or an occasional tournament, but mostly they're still slow play.  In fact you should probably join one of the slow play clubs here.  I'll get you a link...

Your english is fine by the way.

I play 10 min. Started about 2 years ago at 1200-1300. Now i am 1750.

I like it and i think it works for me.

Depends on your preference and other factores i think. Like thinking speed, attention span, etc.

For me, I tend to think very quickly, and rapid is difficult because other people actually take their time... I do a lot of 10 minute games, and think its actually a good time control.

However, as long as you are going over your games after you play them, there is no reason to stop playing chess

I would play mostly blitz online but make sure to play a good amount of slower games OTB at a real chess club.

Also 10 is definitely slow enough. 10 isn't real blitz.

Mixing it up should be a great idea. Ten-minute games for a couple of months for example and a month of thirty-minute games. Both said time controls are useful for improvement as long you are having enjoyment.
