Best Chess Time Control

I'm just curious. Rapid is the best for me though

Three days per move.

Then you can play games that actually MAKE SENSE.

3-2

I prefer 10 minutes and 3 days, although my only frustration with the latter is vacation abusers.

15-10 is my favorite specifically

Because you get a lot of time to think, but at the same time it isn't and insanely long time control like 1 hour that I don't have time for.

Standard FIDE time control: 90 minutes for the first 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment starting from move one. That's my favorite. Yeah, I prefer OTB.

What is that, 120 minutes+30? That is really long, something I don't have the patience for.

That's primarily an OTB time control. If you only play online, you will mostly likely never encounter it.

I have played OTB before, but it was either with infinite time, which was a pain in the butt, or 25 minutes per person, which is pretty good.

5+5 is a good time control. But i still like the possibility of saving a game because of time so I play 5+0. Although i lose winning position too.

Same thing. 15|10 allows you to think while not having to play with extremely long time controls.
Imagine you are in a 1 hour game and you've won ( you got mate in 2) and your opponent stalls. Even if you report the player, you still have to wait for that much of time, which may make you insane. Here, he will run out of time.

On the other hand, If you're low on time then you could just play a few moves fast and get time back.

Actually you should try Daily Chess - 7 Days as well, people don't always use 7 days to play their move but the thing is you have extra time (just in case) and its a win - win.

10, 3 and if I'm feeling energetic 1 min

And 1 day

Best for progress is 15|10. It is the official rapid time control like for the rapid World Championship. Thanks to the increment you have 10 seconds/move to win a won position or draw a drawn position. The games are worth of analysis, which is where progress comes from.

20+1 IS SOOOO FUN!!!

(btw in that time control i got my first brilliant )
