The more rating you have the more difficult it is to find games on longer time controls
Why almost nobody plays 5+2 Time control in Chess.com
Sort:
Yeah its true but almost zero games whenever i try.
Same question here
Some people don't like increments.
5+5 is more popular on chess.com. 5+3 is more of a lichess thing

I think it's just established like that. +5 increment is a bit too much for a 5 min game. If more people plays 5+2 then it can shift towards to it. Since nobody finds 5+2 game so no choice for them.
I play 15/10 and don’t like anything lower!
I don't like increments.
@DrPhenomenale
I'm going to tell you a "back in the days" stories.
Back in the days when I played chess in a real chess club, time control was
90 minutes for 40 moves + 60 minutes.
Ponder that.
@DrPhenomenale The increment pool has a concentration of cheaters, for example people who like to consult the Lichess database in the middle of games. This is a shame for all of us who enjoy increment and don't particularly like all the premove stuff.
5|3 is the standard time control for the Classical World Championship blitz tie breakers.
3|2 is the standard time control for the Blitz World Championship.

Some little increment would be great like +2,+3. I like rapid(10+0,10+5) but it takes much time and not good for regular play.
Correct.

Neither do I but maybe I'm going to start playing them because I'm slowing down.
i wish 10+0 would be 10+2 instead. nothing worse than having a winning position with little time and losing because you just can't move with your mouse quick enough to win the game.
Too fast.
I like to play Rapid Games
@14
10|5 is more standard than 10|2.
Otherwise 5|3 is an alternative so you do not lose on time in won or drawn positions.
Better is 15|10, which is the standard time control for e.g. the Rapid World Championship.
