rapid chess

Timed board game

Rapid chess is a format where each player has between 10 and 60 minutes to complete all moves, faster than classical chess but slower than blitz.

The compressed time forces quicker decisions while still allowing some strategic depth: She preferred rapid chess to the grueling pace of tournament games.
