      I’m been mostly playing daily chess games because I haven’t been able to dedicate time for a one sitting chess. But I’m finding that a game played over a few days isn’t helping me progress. Does anyone else play daily games?

      Going forward, I’m going to try to play more 10 minute games. Any thoughts?

      • I enjoy 10 minute games as they’re valuable to review and learn, but you don’t get the benefit of more calculation time. I try not to worry about the rating or losing on time at the cost of making solid moves. I’m happier if I get ahead on material and run out of time with a better position. Some people play really fast. Best of luck to you!

        • I play a lot of daily games, but to me they are just practice ground to apply in live game (15/10 rapid). When I play daily games, I usually have 1-2 specific goals, mostly to develop habits like blunder check every move, predicting opponents move etc – which are hard to cultivate during live game so doing that in daily game helps.
