Round table

Then you need to play with unlimited time. Or somehow solve the problems with your family. My wife has already gotten used to not approaching me during my turn. And you can always call back on the phone.

Unlimited time has its advantages; I often play with this control, especially if it's a regular sparring partner who isn't known for dragging things out.

However, in Tournaments, there are situations where one of the players starts calculating moves so deeply that a turn takes an hour or two. Time control is needed to avoid such situations.

And yes, the speed of thinking and the dexterity of using the mouse and keyboard are also part of the skill.

A typical pose of a typical Heroes player during a game: he sits sprawled out, with a gloomy-relaxed look, his left hand supports his chin, and his right hand clicks listlessly.

While the correct option is: a focused pose, the right hand clicks energetically, the left hand types out commands on the keyboard (minimizing the number of mouse clicks), and the gaze is focused and intense. In general, like in StarCraft :)
