Beginners, don't do this.

For beginners, one of the most common tips to improve said is to play slower games, like 15/10 or 30 minutes. They also say to do it unrated. The thing is, people recommend slower games because they allow you to take your time on every move, not blitz out a move a second. The reason for this is that it allows your brain to think about some of the possibilities. The problem is, when people play slower games when trying to improve, many people just play like they would a 5-minute game, not a 30-minute game. Then they blunder their pieces and bravo, they lose with 28 minutes left on their clock. My question is, why do people blitz out moves in slower games, instead of just thinking about everything?

TL;DR:

People play too quickly in slower games. Why?

Because not all of us have an hour to play a game.

Like me, I have absolutley no time to play 30 minutes or even a rapid game. I only have time to play a few blitz and bullet games

then why not.. just not play it

wdym?

The original post is to the people who plays 30m games and plays them like they were 5m games.

why not just not play it then? It won't matter whether you play 10 minute or 30 minute then.

No, I cannot play it because I have a time limit.

I can barely fit a 3 minute game in my daily schedule, 

or about 2 bullet game

I think the answer to the question is obvious. If you play lots of blitz, and then switch to a slower game, you're going to naturally tend to play the way you normally do. It takes discipline to slow yourself down and use the available time.

Also, it's not necessarily a great idea to use a proportionate amount of your time early in the game anyway. It depends on opening prep and the speed of your opponent.

If you figure an average game is 40 moves, and you have 30 mins total, you might think you're right on track if you have used 15 mins after 20 moves, but not if your opponent has only used 5. And not if you are only 5 moves past your opening prep.

On the flipside, if you are surprised or face a difficult position early, rushing rather than calculating is a sure road to losing. Having a feel for when to calculate and knowing how much time to spend on a critical position is one of the details of chess that you won't develop through blitz.

I've only been playing mostly bullet for a while, due to the convenience, but this discussion is making me want to allocate some time for slower games soon.

It is hard to slow down, especially if your opponent also plays fast.

your messages are not relevant with what people are talking about here. 

two people tried to tell you this;

"why do people play 30m games AND make moves too fast and finish them in 2-3 minutes. Beginners are advised to play slower games but they don't actually play slowly.. why?"

No one is asking you why you don't play slower games. If you play a slow game you are supposed to play it slowly.. that is.

I hope this time you will read and get it right  

Good question.

Only thing i can think of.. we are living in an age of information and speed. Thanks to the internet, everything is fast now.. So that's why they invented bullet etc type of game modes.

People are too impatient, they don't even read properly what you write (catch the reference ) before they answer.. Ofc when quantity increases, quality drops dramatically.

I say, it's about the era we are living in shortly... Too much information is constantly flowing from everywhere every second and people feel like they have to do everything in a hurry to not to fall behind. I know people who can watch a 10m video in 1 minute. Sounds familiar?

I resort to playing fast games since you can pop one here and there. However with 15min chess, it takes 10 min to play 1 game and much longer to play multiple. Some people don't have that time. :/ 

It seems to me that if one does not have the time to calculate further ahead, one does not have time to improve. I view the latter as quality outweighing quantity. Although there is benefit in playing lots of games.
