What's the best rapid time control that allows me to think for a long time but also a time control short enough to let me or my opponent lose on time?

15 minutes or 17 minutes, but good luck finding someone who wants to play with a 17 minute time limit.

20min. It’s enough time for the average game, but if there’s an endgame I’m in trouble.

30min is perfectly safe. There’s always enough time.

10min is too fast. It isn’t enough time to think for me.

i agree, i used to play 15+10. With 15+10, you basically have like infinite time with that 10-second increment and its like impossible to lose on time. But the good thing with 10 minute is you can win on time. 20 minutes is ok, I would play it if I had more time. 30 Minute is way too long for me.

You should play ten minutes with no increment.

bcuz they have more time to think obviously

Avatar of ChanMan4

Hmm, maybe you aren't changing the amount of time you spend per move? So in 10 minute you think of 10 seconds but in 20 you still think for 10seconds

15' with increment, from 5 to 10 seconds.
