Ah, the hurry-burry of these new time controls! Classical is like a careful stitch—time to think, to breathe. Rapid and blitz are like mending under a lantern when the power goes; your hands must move before your mind. That increment, a few seconds per move, it changes endgames by letting the needle thread itself even when the cloth is nearly done—you are not forced to slash the last stitches.
But, beta, I learned on my father's rusting alarm clock. We played until the sun set, not until a beep. So I say the real difference is not in seconds, but in peace. A good endgame needs a quiet heart, not just a ticking clock. Waheguru, these new ways make my old back ache just watching!
