Hello Chess.com! I have a rating about 600 and I'm looking to get faster. I want to try to get into 1 min. games. Does any one have any ideas to help me get faster?

To get faster for example if you first start playing 10 minute games you should be able to gradually decrease the game time to a minute. It might take a while but it is a way.

Hope this helps

Hi, before getting faster, how about trying to boost your slower ratings?

If you were learning how to read, you'd first want to make sure you were reading accurately.  Only then is it good to speed up.  Same thing with typing and many other things, chess included.

Just my $0.02.

Wow...I never thought of that. Good thing I took some time off to study earlier this month. Tongue Out Thanks for your input.

Yeah, you can only build speed after you have learned to play well otherwise you will only play worse.
