Can you be a Master of 15 | 10? Any tips for excelling at 15 | 10? In correspondence chess you have time to consider every sensible, possible moves for several moves ahead. In 15 | 10 you don't have the time to do that. How do you gain intuition on what *might* be the best move?

Do you play pirc D6 much OTB?
i like this thread.
I am Fide 1750-1850 rated.And 1650 on this site.
How can i be 2000 Fide rated.What would be my training process ?
Please tell me some advice brother.
I like to play d4 with white.And QGD/French with black.
Do you play the French or Sicilian? If you play the Sicilian, which do you prefer: Dragon, Najdorf, whatever...? Is there one which is better for 1400 - 1800 players?
Of the three sharp systems, which setup would you recommend to a 1600~1900 rated club level player against Najdorf: 6.Bg5 or 6.Be3 or 6.Bc4?

When I walloped you in the Battle of Alberta 2-0 many years ago did you:
a) cry a little
b) cry a lot
c) use it as motivation to become a GM, thus meaning I am directly responsible for all your success
d) all of the above

lol the OP hasn't answered in so long.
Wow....an insane amount of questions! Great to see your thread is a hit and it should expand your channel!
My question is: What time control is the most valuable to play online?

What is the nature of a neutron star?
What should someone who can't get higher rating than 1300-1400 focus on?
In one of your answers you said most people should be able to attain 2200-2400 level if they started at a reasonable age. Is someone 25 years old still at a reasonable age or what is a reasonable age?

What do you mean? The African or Australian variety?
I have often seen others ask why GMs and IMs dont participate more in the threads here and I think this thread gives a very good answer to that question . Its no wonder the OP has apparently given up on answering questions here , many of which are idiotic trolling trash that have nothing to do with chess .
what are your next tournamets and what are your goals?

Some years ago a chess film came out, in which the chess queen was played by a, locally, famous actress.
If you were to direct a new chess film with humans as chess pieces, who would you make the King ? :
Al Pacino Gene Wilder Tom Cruise Owen Wilson Nicolas Cagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Live_the_Queen_%28film%29
(Since you didn't want to specifically answer my 10 "too serious" chess related questions, I'm trying some new less serious ones :-) )
The movie I choose none of the above actors and select David Tennant.
What style of chess is the fastest way to get to IM?
