Ep. 62: How To Succeed At Club-Level Time Controls (G/90, G/75, etc.)


Listen Later

This episode covers so-called "club-level" time controls, such as G/90 and G/60. These usually include a time delay ranging from 5 - 30 seconds per move. Neal also shares his thoughts on speed chess as it relates to amateur players and improvement. In addition, some helpful resources that may be underutilized by many are discussed. Additional talking points include the following:

  • The (imaginary) decline of slow time controls
  • DAUT: Don't Analyze Unnecessary Tactics*
  • Your puzzle rating or online rapid rating is not your real rating...
  • Our inaugural Listener Mailbag segment
