=== Blitz ===
Time controls for each player in a game of blitz chess are, according to [[FIDE]], 10 minutes or less per player.<ref name="fidehandbook"/> This can be played with or without an increment or delay per move, made possible by the adoption of digital clocks. Three minutes with a two-second increment is preferred. In the case of time increments, the total time per player for a 60-move game must be 10 minutes or less (hence averaging 10 seconds or less per move).<ref name="fidehandbook"/>

For the FIDE World Blitz Championship, each player has 3 minutes plus 2 additional seconds per move, starting from move 1.<ref name="fidefast">{{cite web | url=https://www.fide.com/FIDE/handbook/WorldRapidBlitzChampionshipsRegulations.pdf | title=Regulations for the FIDE World Blitz Championship 2015 & FIDE World Rapid Championship 2015 | publisher=FIDE | date=2015 | access-date=18 January 2016}}</ref>
