What do you think of RoaringPawn's blog posts challenging traditional chess teaching methods (and inviting GMs to debate with him regarding them)?

How would you advise one to boost their rating? For me, I started my account 3 years ago but I thought I was much better than I was, however now that I think I have the skill to have that rating I am having trouble boosting it back up.

Do u think faster time controls for classical are a good idea? For example 90+30 per move and that's it, number of moves are irrelevant. Or even faster than that, maybe 60 + 30.

I am 2150 in rapid. What should I do to improve?

Playing blitz is the best way to improve. Learn new openings, then practice them in blitz games

90+30 isn't even short. Games often last 4-5 hours. I think it's a matter of personal taste
