Well you’re doing better than me. I’ve been casually playing for 6 years and 1350 in daily is my peak lol.
For me personally, I find Rapid 10 min games are a good in between for being able to manage your time and also perform the necessary calculations. What’s your Rapid rating out of curiosity?
Also you’re using chess.com I assume?
But yeah not that I am qualified to answer your question but I like to do a set of puzzles as a warm up before I start running through games. It seems to help me get into that tactical mindset and I can spot things quicker.
I do really like the rapid time control, it's just that it's a longer commitment and harder to find the time/focus for me. In a year of being into chess, I've only played 20 rapid games, with my rating sitting at 1170.
Yeah, I'm on chess.com (I know I know, it's not the FOSS option).
Understandable. I feel the same way about 30 min time controls. Just a bit too much of a time commitment.
