I'm here in Baguio City, Philippines. There is a small park here called Igorot Park where you can see few small tables just intended for playing chess. I usually play here. Sometimes I win. They place bet for every game and usually using a chess clock. The time usually for every player set on the clock is 5 minutes. If the other guy is stronger, both will try to talk what time will they set. Say for example the stronger guy will have a 2 minute on his clock while the other is 5 minutes. We call that handicap. Yes, I usually play a 5 minute game. This game is called blitz and in a way forcing you to think fast. It is really a nice exercise for the brain.
