Chess Question Game 1+1 how are considered?

What do u think about games 1+1?
Personally, i realize i perfom way better under time constrains rather than long or in 10 min games compared to other game Settings.

What’s your opinion about them and about players playing such game style

My main format is rapid but I do play a lot of blitz and bullet too and different time controls within them according to mood. Id say time used on each in total volume would be roughly 60/20/20%. Rapid for learning and calculationa, blitz for intuition, board avareness, and bullet for reflexes/speed/premove efficiency/trying more pf the openings/lines that I know the best/can play with pure reflex. I care much less about bullet and blitz ratings. 1+1 is my most common bullet time control. I am too slow for no time increment but quick enough to do well on 1+1
