1. What is the purpose of having 1,2,3,5, or 7 day time to move?

2. Can you study the game between moves? How I have been playing them is like a live game move then wait for my opponent to move then make another. Then after the game analyze it and study.

3, Chess.com has explorer and learn openings, How do you use them? for study only correct? not while playing games. Because I think your not learning only after the games are played.

4. How do you use notes during a game are they for ref. or to help learning? can you bring notes to play?

The purpose is to allow yourself time to think. Come up with plans, ideas, and to take your time.

2. Can you study the game between moves? How I have been playing them is like a live game move then wait for my opponent to move then make another. Then after the game analyze it and study.

Yes, you can study the game between moves as much as you want. You can use openings databases, books..

3, Chess.com has explorer and learn openings, How do you use them? for study only correct? not while playing games. Because I think your not learning only after the games are played.

You can use the Opening Explorer while playing the game. You are NOT allowed to use chess engines.

4. How do you use notes during a game are they for ref. or to help learning? can you bring notes to play?

The Notes section is a great way to improve. You use it to keep track of your ideas, plans, thoughts, etc. You can write down lines of analysis, etc.

Daily chess is also a great option for those who find it difficult to pull a full hour from their busy schedule to play a 30+30 game, but still want to have adequate thinking time on each move. Correspondence chess, which has a similar rule but with players connecting via non-electronic ways, was actually quite popular before the computer era.

@kirkland -

For "daily" games (aka, correspondence chess) you can use and study books, articles, databases (e.g., opening explorers, game collections - online or offline), and videos, DVDs etc. What is not allowed is to use a computer (i.e., chess engine) to calculate the moves of a game you are curently playing, or to use the aid of humans for the purpose of determining your moves in a game you are playing. So, no computer calculation of your moves and no human assistance, for a game you are playing. Otherwise you are free to make use of all other resources when playing correspondence chess.

The case for "daily" chess vs rapid chess...

Thanks inkspirit I like the daily games but also like playing live interesting on ratings.

Thanks RussBell I wanted to use a study book to help learn as I play but wasn't sure it was allowed.

And you think saying you can't use engines stop people. You couldn't pay me to play one more daily game.

I have looked at your games, and not one single opponent you have played has had their account closed for not playing fairly.
