Online chess is working for me :)

I notice improvements from the time I play online chess. I have time to analyze and this is helping me improve. In my chess club I played only blitz and my improvements were very slow. I recommend to play a lot of online chess to everyone to improve.

playing long games does help in developing key skills like calculation, value of activity etc.. however i dont think i have the patience to play online chess. 15 min is just fine for me.

Pdve, patience will make you a better player. Online chess gives you depth understanding of 30 moves in advance.

wow. 30 moves? are you sure? not sure even carlsen manages that. or even kasparov.

30 moves? So after 1.e4 you could announce mate in 22! That would be funny.

Anyway, I like online chess too and it's obvious that you'll progress faster if you take your time to think about your move than if you only play blitz.

You don't see 30 moves in advance. But you will KNOW 30 moves in advance where the game is heading. That if you allow your opponent to block your 3-2 pawn majority on 1 side then his 2-1 pawn majority in the middle will crash through and 30 moves later you will be lost.
