Bullet is a crock of bull, 3min not much better... 5min is great fun, but to improve is better to slow and think a little... trying for clock win, playing hope moves will not improve game yes?
How to improve and train your middlgame

There are many things you can do to improve your middlegame planning but perhaps the most important is :
Play long games , and analyse them after they end.
The analysis is diagnosis. You identify what you did wrong and more importantly why. Finding the mistakes and the reasons in your thinking process is the most important learning tool that you have at your disposal. Don't waste it.
I'll be playing more long games myself this year. I signed up for a local chess team as a reserve. I really got to stop being so rating conscious.

Playing long game is a waste... lots of 5 to 15min game, learn pattern and openings, do tactic puzzle... this is what master player say, listen to lion yes?
How long have you been playing chess? Improvement can take time.

I've been playing more seriously for a year and a half. Casually for about two years and a half (but have played from time to time before that)

Have had 3 or 4 account Deardrie, none of which have been banned, ever, note how anyone who disagree with deardrie is decreed stupid, a troll, or both... this is because she lose argument and give patzer advising, YGNR not know a thing about Chess... he wouldn't even know who somebody like Morphy was? Like I saying, pie in the Sky...

Awright LeVelo, now she has gone away let lion give you some good advising... you will not improve here playing long slow game... you more likely get bored by troll opponent who stop moving for 15min? play lots of fast game, 5min is good yes? but think about move, not just move and hope, this give fun, teach opening, teach pattern recognition yes? also get app for tactic puzzle, improve fast... this what master player say, not bitter patzer yes?

Why not both? But more seriously, i'm a slow thinker so longer time control would be better in my case

people do think faster or slower... but anyway one can analyse fast game as well. Rapid is probably best to improve, rapid and tactic puzzle... listen to lion yes?

Here is what Dvoretsky says on the matter:
"Annotating rapid games (those played with a reduced time control) and, even more so, blitz games, is a fairly pointless exercise. It is not even about the almost inevitable abundance of inaccuracies and crude blunders – there are sometimes enough of them in serious "classical" games (although, in general, a significantly lower number). What's more important is the complete absence in rapid chess of any interesting, deep ideas that can only be created through immersion in a position, for which there simply isn't time in a speed game."
That will be my last post. If OP wants to listen the ignorant Lion troll and not one of the best trainers, it's fine by me.
Good luck!
This lion person has been here before. His "broken english" routine isnt even done well. Just take em as another troll, that for some reason thinks he is being original.

And we just take you on as another coward... who block people he can't win an argument with? Can you talk or write one word of Croatian? one more bit of racism from you and will be reported for racist abuse understand? As for pie in the Sky troll before... she obviously don't know a thing about Chess. She quote some patzer who sound just as pompous... is no use to analyse rapid game because people make mistake? Doh!? that why you analyse game yes...

3. You should learn the definition of racism.

And why is my english your business mr troll?
1 as explain for now fourth occasion... is not my first language, and is difficult for slavic people to learn? you go for several month lesson in croatian or japanese, or cantonese... would you expect to be flawless?
2 broken english or not... have you read some of the post from US and UK players?they talking worse english than i am? so if not racism, why is this such an issue for you?
3 you and Deardrie just dismiss anybody with a counter view as a dumb troll... i making proper valid points yes? IM Silman say rapid is probably best to improve...
4 what you are doing is borderline fraud... you putting IM before your name, with a soft focus pic and giving master forum tips, when you just a regular club player?!
Having said that, i have no ill will to you or Deardrie... i am not YGNR and have no desire to copy!? i am a genuine Chess enthusiast...

Honestly i do give you credit for at l;east coming up with something new and original. If it brings you some joy, then carry on.
"..., you have to make a decision: have tons of fun playing blitz (without learning much), or be serious and play with longer time controls so you can actually think.
One isn't better than another. Having fun playing bullet is great stuff, while 3-0 and 5-0 are also ways to get your pulse pounding and blood pressure leaping off the charts. But will you become a good player? Most likely not.
Of course, you can do both (long and fast games), ..." - IM Jeremy Silman (June 9, 2016)
