40% or 50% of my lost are on time with won postion, how about you?

For me that is very annoying. Nothing to learning if you are making all right when the theme is 'chess' and no 'time'.
In some sense time is cruel for improving players who study chess theory because he have some knowlodge and apply some of them, but to apply his knowlodge he waste time!

What do you thinking about that? Play rapid or classical game on internet seems messy, I dont know, I dont believe in my opponents if they are play seriouslly...
I did not quite understand why you don't want to play classical games, but at the same time complain about blitz games, can you explain that more clearly?

I personally would love a time control that expands if the game takes longer, but that would be to difficult to realize, so I just switched to classical. Why not you too?
thats the nature of blitz, its not about good moves, its mostly about doing solid moves in a short amount of time.

if u wanna have a game u can analyze positionally u have to play rapid or classic.
@schachschachschach that is new for me. When I dont want to improve and I dont to study, blitz is funny and acceptable, but now I'm studying. Now I have several knowlodge and I should choose between have fun with blitz or play 'boring' and slow classical/rapid games intending test my new knowlodge by checking if the position go to a edngame I know to play, or checking the pawn structure trying figure out what I know about it, and mainly: check all tactical resources!

I'm stubborn, because maybe I'm addicted in blitz, or because I think I can use my new knowlodge in blitz games (in fact I can! but after use that knowlodge to reach a won postion I have no time to win after that!).

That is what I'm understanding now and I would like if someone understand/understood what I'm feeling now!

Anyway, I'm not complain, I'm pointng my perception of a fact I think is curious... Blitz is not for me and I dont want accept that because it is like if I'm out of a 'club/group/place where the things happening' now!

PS: I cant play OTB, my chess life can happening just in internet!

You don't need time for classical games. You can play one classical game instead of 20 fast games. The amount of time you spent is the same.

If you still want to play blitz the advice from @Chillkroete77 was very good - play with increment - this way you won't lose on time, but it's still a fast game
@schachschachschach It's a misconception that increment saves you from losing on time. Since changing the time control from 5+0 to 3+2 in otb blitz tourneys I've won more games on time than before. You still have to practice having just a few seconds on the clock.
With 3+2 you can win a won game and you can draw a drawn game. With 5+0 you can lose K+R vs. K+R or K+Q vs. K+p.
Sure, that's the advantage of increment but you still need to be fast enough during the entire game.
@Chillkroete77 I wasn't talking about OTB games, because that was not relevant in this case

Also nobody mentioned how much increment, of course 3+2 is as fast or faster than 5+0 (2 seconds x 60 moves = 2 minutes and many games don't have 60 moves), so what about 3+8
