=== Rapid (FIDE), quick (USCF), or active===
Time controls for each player in a game of rapid chess are, according to [[FIDE]], more than 10 minutes but less than 60 minutes.<ref name="fidehandbook"/> Rapid chess can be played with or without time increments for each move. When time increments are used, a player can automatically gain, for instance, ten more seconds on the clock after each move. Rapid chess was called ''active chess'' by FIDE between 1987 and 1989.<ref name="Rapid Chess"/>

For the FIDE World Rapid Championship, each player has 15 minutes plus 10 seconds additional time per move starting from move 1.<ref name="fidefast"/>
