What is the average time you spend thinking about a move?
Sort:
i believe my average is about two minutes per move, but it's hard to tell, i think what is bad i becuase of some unknown reason i move faster in endgames then in the opening or middlegame, and the endgame is the toughest part (for me)!
Varies, often not enough time.
Sometimes 15-30 seconds, but mostly 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Sometimes up to 5 minutes as I will view a position and not move but return later to view the position again before moving increasing the total time spent.
On this site I take anywhere from a minute upward. I play blitz on another site and unfortunately I move too fast, a few seconds, without thinking. Come to think of it thats what my wife always tells me "....you never think.....!"
Well for me it depends on the situation I am in...

Mostly about 1 minute. If It's a tricky situation maybe 5 minutes.

i spend about 5 seconds on a move and oddly enough my rating is in 1500's, i tried thinking a little longer but it didnt work and the same outcome came out. 5 seconds and 5 minutes are the same to me, its weird how minds work.
hmmmmnnnnn
in the opening , If its a line am familiar with, I would say 5-10 seconds until I spot something out of the norm. then I approach the position like a puzzle.
at this point its like 10 minutes for the specific position.
in the middlegame, its about 2 mins per move. Again untul I spot a position I would want to exploit.
in the end game,...... what endgame?? am normally taost by then or my opponent has resigned by then
