I think that the classical long time control chess would be the best to help you improve but the blitz chess can be useful once in a while. For example, what I like to do is play a 5 minute with 5 second increment game every so often to practice time pressure situations for when it happens in my real chess tournament games. That way I will feel more comfortable when I am down below 5 minutes in my tournament game and therefore play better.
To become better at chess you must play what is called classical chess, or as you put it, slow times. Occasional speed chess games are fine, consider them a change up to your regular routine of study and practice.
IMO Blitz.
A great chess player should have no problem with a ten minute game. Great chess players take on many players at the same time on their lonesome.
If you cannot beat one person in 10 minutes, how can you ever become a grand master?
You must be able to play 1min chess - 7 hours chess
If you are loosing to your friend , it just means that you are weak buddy.
You play me any time control and the results will be the same 1min or 1 hour game doesn't matter.
All I'm saying I'm prepared for any kind of game , dirty game, fast game , slow game, game for money , etc no problem I will take my chances, I'm confident and if someone beats me, trust me even if they are 2300+ rated it wouldn't be an easy game for them.
Unless they are 2600+ , then it would be an easy game for them haha
Ok this is what has happened: i've started playing chess with one of my friends. I've beaten him like 2 times in a row, but then we palyed an 10 minutes game "fine with me" i said, but i allways run out of time , im just not used to play that fast, i have to think. Twice i've lost on time, 3 times he beated me. So i asked myself...what the... how can this happen. So here i am asking u: it's blitz better than a usual 1h game. I know this kind of game is fun and spectacular, can it realy help you in youre chess career?
