Very interesting points here and I think this is a great format for answering subscribers’ questions. In regards to the question about rapid I tend to agree with your point that Improvement = Time * Focus, this would also imply (if true) that rapid is obviously a better time format for improvement in comparison to blitz, which I would also agree with. On a side note, I also think for anyone that is looking to improve at any level, rapid with a time increment could prove to be a lot more helpful than a non-increment rapid time control.

I find in OTB you focus much more than online. Online chess leads to lousy play.

Thanks for the article.
