My classical games are better, less blunders on both sides, can think about 4-5 things on every turn. Instead of 1-2 things in blitz

The king of chess who is lazy is the plot for a movie! However, you can be the best in standby mode.

There is one more alternative--yours.

It is not clear that Carlsen is the best at classical because he barely plays. His current rating is outdated - based on past accomplishments, not current ones.
Is there really such a hullabaloo about playing at a quicker paced classical tc or a slower rapid tc ?
