Nervousness can affect time usage via decision paralysis (taking too much time) or jitters (moving too quickly). Nervousness with the clock occurs because a person is not using a clock enough, but naturally goes away as you practice using the clock more and more.
Can you stop using AI images? They are awful.

How many seconds do you think

Usually I edit my own images. Yesterday, I was pressed for time so went with an AI image. Since I am not turning a profit off of my articles, I don't feel bad using AI images. I used to have a final paragraph asking for support. When that was happening, I did not use AI images. If I ever return to asking for support, I will not use AI art.

Depends on the position and the degree to which I understand the position.
Thanks for the quick reply Ryan.
It's not about the profit.
The image itself is an eyesore.
There are two contiguous white squares in the corner.
Black pawns in the back rank.
White has three knights.
The board pattern is melting.
Why is there a queen sand timer in the middle of the board.
The internet is being taken over by this slop.
There are multiple stock websites with chess images.

Thank you for the input. It seems you would prefer realism the Salvador Dali mixed with Ardeco feel this image gives. I believe I typed in "I need a piece of chess art that shows how time is important to the game" or something like that, and this image was created.
Thanks. Sorry I don't want to come across as a contrarian.
It's not a stylistic preference, I would think your edited photos would be much more relevant to anything than any AI mishmash.

I am not viewing you as contrarian. AI art is controversial for sure. Personally, I dislike that it rips off artists and pretends it doesn't. Others simply do not like it, and I respect that viewpoint, too.
The image it generated for me is not off putting to me, but ALL art provokes reactions in people, and each provoked reaction is valid.

I have seen players with big experience using the clock. They perfectly understand that they move to fast in their cases. Not surprisingly they are much stronger in blitz than in longer time controls. But they are not able to change it.
I was not able to help them, do you hae anything that could help?
One of that players played thh first time with me and she did not know my rating or anything else about me. We had an eening of blitz matches, i won more games but on this evening i would have guessed her rating about 1900-2000. In reality she had 1500-1600, often good ideas, but more often stupid blunders.
