Why Not Two Minutes And 15 Sec?

I cannot at all comprehend why there’s not either the option to play 4player with TWO minutes, ‘or’ the present only one minute when there is so much you have to constantly check, hopefully no one around while you’re playing causing a distraction, as well it’s only one single more minute, not much asking especially when it so is sensible and I’m rather confused why others haven’t brought such up, because, sure, I could bust out my moves attempting to hold minute longer, but adding just one more minute is certainly not asking too much, no?

It’s one single minute..

Thats too long.

putting 2 minute and 1 minute games, will take a longer time to get 4 people on the board, as compared to everyone stacked to get games in a single one minute

How is a measly 2 minutes too much time??

So many games that I’ve played, had I not had to as fast as can rush my move, played far better due proper given time. Not everyone finds bullet exhilarating or wise and one single extra minute isn’t going to damage a thing.

I like the idea

Two minutes is to long, you have to think quickly against three other guy's or gal's!

That's the fun part!

The whole point is that you have to make your move in under 15 secs. This way, it divides the good players from the mediocre, as the good players can find the same, good moves quicker

But I have this one friend. And we lost because of time (he runs out of time and were in teams) that make me mad because we were winning soooooooo much and we just... Lose

Maosro sad 4 player chess story

What did you right down?

I have always seen chess as a  t h i n k i n g  game and the additional minute is not asking much, and I think the time lapse due an opponent disconnects benefits  e v e r y o n e  because there’s EXTRA time to  V I E W  the ‘far more broaden’ board than from it’s original spaces where to position oneself is only one opponent than an additional two opponents with the 4 player, so extremely beneficial that little extra time any disconnections!

WHAT I FIND CRAZY IS THIS IS NOT EVEN THOUGHT OF?? Yes... I will agree that since playing 4player my play is faster however I would rather that not the case because what the heck the reason to hasten your move when by doing so your panic haves you not realize a very strong position all because your as fast as possible busting out your move thereby losing such great opportunities!!

That's the Point! The whole idea of 4 player is to be quick so that panic moves can change the game. The better players will make less panic moves, and when you improve, you'll see that 1 minute is far more than sufficient.

Yes

what did you right??

??

how so? How is it more than sufficient when, we’re you distracted, and that’s simple to happen, your freaking out to make a move before your gay minute is gone??? give me a break

At  L E A S T  another 1/2 minute!

chess.com team experimented with different time controls a year ago. And found that "1 minute + 15 second delay" is good enough. Yes, the board is larger than in classic chess, but:

1. You can think while other 3 players think. Often you can predict their moves.

2. The most popular time controls in chess blitz are: 2m+1s, 3m+2s, 5m+5s. So, with 4PC 1m+15s you have from 3 to 15 times more time to think than in classic chess blitz. Even if you think during your own time only.

3. 4PC players pool is still small to split it up.

4. Once we release "Custom Friendly Games", players will be able to create games with custom time control.

It’s just the fact that so much is going on and easily missed due your having to bust out a move to make sure your time isn’t up rather quickly.

Happy to hear about 4. the customizing your game option coming!

Look, this game is great but I am baffled why me recognizing it as unfair such little time is not even acknowledged, and as well that so many are happier playing bullet Shazam blast your move silliness than actually playing chess!

Remove that silly tapping device! lol

THE OBJECT IS TO  T H I N K  YOUR MOVE !

I don’t even think ‘bullet’ play is chess.

I think that 1 minute plus 15 seconds for every move is more than enough to play correctly. 

1. A single match can go a long time if everyplayer is taking all his seconds to think. This could get worse with two minutes. Right now, if I have 45 minutes I can play a match in FFA. This might disappear with two minutes. Remember that you're asking the time to be doubled.

2. As BabYagun wrote, you have the movements of three players to think before moving; movements that are usually predictable (unless a player snaps and becomes irrational). And if it isn't enough for everyone, I think its a good penalization to distinguish the better players from the worse ones.

3. Two minutes would alienate all the players that like to play fast. If the most popular games in chess.com are bullet and blitz, then is reasonable that 4 player chess has several of them. Right now we're too few to start making those decissions.

Cheers!

...your "better player too worst one" remark... @Berenjena_Mortal

How is a bullet player a player of chess? In chess there are so many options available and I'm sure by now you've attempted the daily tactics given or the puzzles. Many of them directly correlate preCISEly with what I'm bringing attention on..

I don't comprehend why so many have found (other than based egotistically it can be seen, sure.) bullet to be chess or the faster the better the player when that player would dog out in a 15 minutes game all due his hastily moving and even 15 minutes is rushing!

This game is so much fun how in Heaven's name can someone find their opponent taking too long with LOL only 2 minutes plus a 15 sec. delay? It's the 'rush mentality'  o b v i o u s l y  their reason and it ONLY would do  e v e r y  l a s t  z o o m  z o o m  b u s t  y o u r  m o v e opponent a benefit to  s l o w  t h e i r  r o l l , no? Lol

IT IS DEFINITELY A  F A N T A S T I C  I D E A  TO, AS BABYAGUN STATED CREATE THE OPTION ALTERING TIMES  C L E A R L Y .

(lol none of the spacing is angry, rather emphasis)
