How to improve in rapid chess?

Play rapid

The best way to improve in quick time controls is to improve your chess overall. This includes solving tactics, calculation exercises, opening preparation, studying classics, reviewing your own games, etc. I did this for two weeks without playing a single blitz game and when I returned to playing blitz, my rating skyrocketed (I gained over 100 points in a day).

Generally, I agree with Advaith's advice.  I'd add a couple of things to it:

- Practice playing in crazy positions, including finding ways to defend (or pose challenges) when the opponent has the upper hand.  This is useful because good defense tends to be quite difficult to do even on a longer time control, and you'll notice how your opponents will often get frustrated in trying to break through your defenses if you do well (better than your opponents, relatively).  So you'll start winning games that you sometimes didn't expect to even draw.

- Practice precision in endgames -- especially because endgames will likely be the phase of the game in which you'll have to play quite quickly (at blitz pace), and you want that blitz pace to not diminish your overall playing quality.

- Consciously monitor and learn to manage your internal (emotional and mental) balance -- before, during, and after each rapid game.  I've noticed that faster time controls can give people quite an up-and-down experience, if they don't manage their internal balance well.  If you can manage that well for yourself, you'll be better equipped (than most of your opponents) to play strongly even when you're under significant pressure (time-wise and/or position-wise).

Wondering how specifically to manage your internal balance well?  I'll leave that discussion for another forum -- it's a really useful topic and I can't do it justice in a few sentences here.  Plus, it's an important "secret" to know about... and practice.

I thinking the op is asking how to improve in slow chess

STAHP ADVERTISING OR I WILL REPORT YOU @123Jesus123

YOU A 200 SO STAHP

Rapid chess, in comparison, is generally considered speed chess.

That is your opinion. 

That, is not even a game that happened, you made that up, as I could not find it in my database. Also, if that's the only mate you know, then I wouldn't trust your teaching that much

ahh ok. But I never really have time to play like 90|30 time controls, so I count 15|10 as a slow time control.

Yes, the definition of "slow" chess is subjective of course but according to the United States Chess Federation "rapid chess" and "quick chess" are synonymous terms; in fact, the latter is actually the preferred terminology. 

Ok.

Nope, "u is just a 200 who puts 2500 fide on his profile and go pipi in his pampers whenever he lose a game"

Looks like I don't have any game against you, if I did play you, I can probably quadruple adopt you  

and your speechless
