Why do we need 15 minutes game review? That's almost as long as the game itself. I usually do review 5 minutes only.

I think it's to be able to try to Actually LEARN something from the game

When I play blitz, I usually spend longer on the review than the game. At least if I'm trying to use it to get better.

I am going to follow this learning advice. I will try to do at least 3 times per week.

I am going only to change the time from 10 to 10+5. I prefer to play with the increment, otherwise will be really difficult to play any endgames.

all variations are good.
5 mn tactics (4-5 puzzles, using the Lichess tools)
10-15 mn game and analyse (searching our last blunder of the game, and the bad opening move)
10-15 mn theory
saying 30 mn each day, 5 days a week,

of course no time for deep analysis, learning from our great predecessors (...), or being an expert about pawn structures.

In any case, a good way to begin a study plan

@CheckRaiseMate this can also be a tactic.After your opponent castle you have to the opposite side so that you could attack with a pawn storm

I will try your method. 3 times a week, 15 minutes tactics, 15+5 game and 15 minutes for analysis. Regularity is important here. For me, the indicator will be a change in rating. I'll come back here after some time and share successes/failures.

I will try your method ( plus some tweaks). At least3 times a week, 10 minutes tactics, 25+5 game or 30+0 game ( because I like classical)and 15 minutes for analysis.
