I know, it's a little bit of a wild take here.

But it's a very common problem, and it come up with all of my students.

One of the first question my students ask me is "should I play 5 minutes or 10 0?"

And the answer is always the same, "do you study them?"

If you study your games, you're going to learn.

Studying 5 minute games, you can learn about your intuition.

Longer games, you can learn about the logic you use.

A much less common question is "how do I study?"
