I have been playing rapid games in chess.com again for the last few months after some break during the entire pandemic time. I used to play mostly 5 minutes chess or 3 days per move games in chess.com. But then I thought to try out 1 minute bullet chess and 10 minute rapid chess. Then I my son Ahyan told me to give a try to 3 minutes with 2 seconds increment that game he plays. I tried and am liking it very much. My yesterday's game was a win against a FIDE Master in this format on my favorite Sicilian Dragon opening as black.
