Why Not Two Minutes And 15 Sec?

I'm sorry but too many games I've been screwed basically all due the time and as well accidentally not recognising my move due to being distracted. 2 minutes totally sounds extremely doable.

time is ok 1 min with 15 sec is a lot as if u make a move within 15 sec ur time stays steady

Were this game not rushed would it be most enjoyable, and I know I'm not the only one that thinks so.

 

Adding at least half more minute ain't asking a big deal, and most reasonable. You think considering theres four playing it would be sensibly so, regardless the 15 sec. delay that, yes does have you time to move, but one measly minute is ridiculous and big time becomes diminished when someone who doesn't know you're in a 4player game distracts you, I don't know, it seems absurd that this is not upsetting others too. One minute is way too short for time and that's a fact!

You do get two minutes. You get four the players (including yourself) 15 seconds to think (assuming they think maximally), plus your one minute.

.....you're forgetting each move haves you needing to possibly redirect what was intended, not to mention more to focus what else has just popped up! It's absolutely ridiculous there's only one minute with even the 15 sec delay causing a bombastic chaotic hysteria on the board within an easy 12 moves with everyone rushing as if on pcp or some enhancer mass destruction that's uncalled for given you have proper time your move. Every move has you more to decipher whether what you're planned optioned move is the best, and within your time to move what appeared a great move can be screwed drastically leaving you with nothing of your claimed other minute that's accumulated as you described!

But you have one min per game. Not move

yup

That means if you did that you would lose

The FACT ALONE your not playing only 'one' opponent simply expresses more time needed than a single minute.

 

I know to bullet players that's not understandable but then again I don't understand how bullet's considered chess when your playing as if some ego trip and maybe some liquor or 'other help' involved who knows, but bullet is by far too fast to be making moves. I don't know how many of you 4players play the correspondence but you quickly learn that hastefully moving is a no no big time.

Ok....

Being able to spend 15 seconds/move is not bullet no matter how you look at it. Games can easily last over 30 minutes. It is more comparable to blitz.

 

We have experimented with different time controls in the past and I think we found a time control really suitable to free for all. That said, there is no time control that is perfect for everyone. We might consider changing the time control from 1 minute to 2 minutes in the future for the teams variant, but right now we are focusing on the release of the new version and we don't want to experiment with new time controls at the same time. That said you will be able to choose time control for friendly (unrated) games.

main time should be bigger  iit whould be better becuase after play there team opp  surprising moves u got 1 min left to plan it whould great if did something like 5 min no extra sec or 1 min with +15 ,10 ,5 sec .whould be also fine not 15 sec each move. the change point mostly is done in mid game for mid that all time need mainly that my thinking/suggestion 

Avatar of ThePEPSIChallenge

Either a 2 minute play or lengthen the delay to 30 seconds, not 15.

u better sleep Pepsi thats too long, boring

Why don't you just do it as a option? So everyone is happy happy.pnghappy.pnghappy.png

It is not an option, because (as said above):

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