Press 10+5 in main menu.

"A beginner sits at the board and looks without thinking."

  • That is wrong. Thinking is the essence of chess. Some do not think for fear of flagging.

"The player will take 15 minutes, but will lose in 2."

  • Most beginners play too fast.

"10+5 is quite enough to see exactly where the player gets stuck."

  • If a player cannot find the winning move in a winning position in 5 seconds, then he has to play a slower time control e.g. 15+10.

What for??? You took 20 minutes for the game, lost, and you still have almost 18 minutes left on the clock.
If a beginner takes a lot of time, it doesn’t mean they’ll play better. No! Beginners shouldn’t spend a lot of time. It’s useless. They need to devote more time to learning the 4 basic combinations. It will be more beneficial.

I’ve always thought that winning is much more fun than just playing.

Play for the sake of game rather than the beast of ego

  • Then you should always play weak opponents.
    Playing a strong opponent is fun too, even losing.

50 years ago in our country there were many pioneer palaces where many chess clubs were organized. At that time there was very relevant advice to play with a strong opponent. Because when there are 10 people in the club, then yes.
But in the days of the Internet, it is enough to press 10+5 in the main menu for the site to select an opponent for you from ten million players. Just play with whoever they give you. There is no need to select opponents at will.
