Frequently Asked Questions

What time control should I use for casual chess?

10 minutes per side (rapid) is good for casual play. For faster games, try 5+0 (blitz) or 3+2 (blitz with 2-second increment).

What does increment mean in chess time controls?

Increment adds a few seconds to your clock after each move. For example, 5+3 means 5 minutes per side with 3 seconds added after every move.
