Hello all
I consider myself a chess beginner. About 2,000 games played on this account, 1120 ELO on Blitz and 1275 on Rapid.
My question probably depends on the player but... What do you think is the best way to learn, Blitz vs Rapid?
I like Rapid games because you have a lot of time to think about your moves, develop strategy and tactics within the game
But I also like Blitz because you play more games and experience more scenarios. For example I can play a lot more end games in Blitz then Rapid but in Rapid I have more time to think about the end game moves more technically.
So essentially is it better to play slow and think carefully or play lots of games and experience different situations for someone at my level?
I quite enjoy Rapid at the moment, so will probably continue with playing more Rapid games (With occasional Blitz / Bullet for fun), but just interested in thoughts...
Thanks all
PS. I think I need to work on my end game the most if that matters at all...
