Yes, the problem is that people aren't keeping track of any interesting record-breakers. Every game is looking too common to me when I observe it, so it really isn't fitting.

I mean we have the “first player” to 3000 in Hyperbullet if anyone is interested 🤷♂️

Nice. I almost forgot that reaching ratings can also be records. Or number of moves made by a single piece can be tried out. For the latter, you can use a piece of paper, and keep track of how many moves each piece makes (extra recommendation: write where each piece moved each time so you never forget).

All the time, I’ve been looking for a real highest rating increase, and I was so surprised when I actually got +326.9 against a bunch of players whose ratings were all said to be lower than mine.

@Chessisfunforme also mentioned this unusual concept of Arena of Legends’ rating system a while ago in here:

(I mentioned this because the picture shows the record from this very game.)
Most rating lost in one game: -280.2 https://www.chess.com/variants/arena-of-legends/game/53121063/99/1 @BFDICHESS
What's the typical average score range in 4pc FFA (standard)?

Can we make a second “record book” dedicated to certain variants, such as Euler’s Game?

@MegaThief Playing hyperbullet is like ice skating. It is easy for two players to slip to a third and then for the third to claim the win with these time controls, compared to slower ones. Therefore, I agree with your idea.
I agree with @MegaThief . Hyperbullet doesn't require much skill, and it is much harder to get a 3-move-checkmate in Rapid, because the players can take their time to think and find all of the checkmate threats. + @zisal2029's argument.

Grable isn’t on the admin team anymore, so I’m not sure why he is the one you guys are complaining about

@ChessMasterGS my intention is not to complain about anything, but to suggest improvements.
New record for longest games and most moves: 2h 25min, 398 moves.

Apparently this is nowhere close to the record. There is actually a variant that takes 350K moves to win!
Not sure what that is, but we are talking about standard 4PC here...

But for standard 4pc, that IS a well-deserved world record!

Also note that there have never been a 4-digit number of ply moves in any one rated 4PC game before, since 225.75 moves is at best 903 ply.

Why would anyone bother playing a game for 2 hours and 25 minutes? That would be such a long time for a game of 4pc
Buffed this post. This seems to have seemingly been forgotten and it would be nice if this was pinned by the admins.
