About the 15+10 time control
The generous increment means you’re never in a pure time scramble, so games are decided by chess rather than the clock — ideal for learning.
It’s long enough for genuine calculation in the middlegame and endgame, but still finishes in well under an hour. If you want one control to improve at, this is the usual recommendation.
In short: 15 minutes per player with 10 second increment, in the rapid range. Tap below to start it now, or read more about how the time-control tiers compare.
