Personally I’ve improved so much only playing 5 minute and 30 second. The key to improvement is as many games as possible, so if you play a bunch of 15+10 or 10 min games that would let you play way more games than one 60 min game a day
I am a 1200 ELO rapid player and I have not been stuck on a certain ELO for a long period of time yet, so I think I am improving. But I have been wondering whether 60+0 is a good time control to play when you are trying to improve. Do you think it's good for a player like me or should that time control maybe come later ( 1500, 1600 etc) or is it not necessary to ever use that time control for improvement?
