Speed Vote Chess

Last week, The Dark Knights played a game of 5-minutes/turn Vote Chess.  We had so much fun that we wanted to do it again.  The problem is that now, the fastest the system will allow is 30-minutes per turn.  This will turn a 3-5 hour game into an 18-30 hour game, and thus it is far less likely that either team will have anyone stay online for the whole thing. 

Why were the 5, 10, and 15 minute options removed, and can we get them back?  PLEASE!!!

message "jay" :)

ive never done the 5min vote thing but it does sound good

Please count me in as another one who would like to see the faster vote chess games come back.  

I would love to see fast chess games like 5 minutes a move, that way I can play the hole game as an OTB game... please consider the option

I do not normally post  in the forums, but I am a member of the Fast Players Group because, like all the other players in the group, I like to play fast.  I may not be that good because of it, but I still enjoy the speed of the game.  Please allow this type of tournament for those players that enjoy it.  Thank you.

I also join the Fast Player Group because I crave speed.

As the founder of both The Fanboys and Bookworms Group as well as The Wheel of Time group I would like to request that you bring the 5 and 10 minute vote chess games back if possible, please.

Thanks, David/ Wildcard

I have the same idea and want to sent message to chess.com, and then I find this post, I like this idea, my team (Team China) will support this.

due to the time zone, we will challenge the team near China, such as Philippines Team.

I sent a request before to have a live chess team competition. Though not exactly similar to the fast vote chess, it is somehow similar in intention.

How about the option of faster turn-based chess too? To enable a td to set faster tournaments for 10 mins per move for example, instead of 1 day being the fastest? We wouldnt need the whole 10 mins.....but what a nice alternative to the 1 day/move option. Or even being able to set the completion of a round to 4 hours? I have organised this type of fast tourney via the FPG ...but not being able to enforce faster time controls makes it more time-consuming, and its not ideal. I know live chess does this kind of thing....but then you have the pressure, the clock ticking away, the bugs, disconnections........cant we just PLEASE have the choice of faster turn -based chess? No matter how fast i play on turn-based, i do not feel the pressure as i have done in live chess.

I think five minutes is too short.

We absolutely have to speed it up. Even I with nothing to do other than love my wife and play chess (notice the order in which I said that) cannot stay up for 12 to 18 hours straight, even for chess.
