In my opinion it's right between the line between blitz and rapid, so it's a tough decision.
10|0 should be rapid
Sort:
bapid? ritz?
It's rapid if the starting time plus the increment is over 15 (or something like that)
Yes it definitely should, I only play 10|0 and 15|10 and I think they are a bit similar. definitely more alike than 10|0 and 5|5.
It's base on the FIDE rules.
"Time controls for each player in a game of rapid chess are, according to FIDE, more than 10 minutes, but less than 60 minutes. Rapid chess can be played with or without time increments for each move. In a game where time increments are used, a player can automatically gain, for instance, ten more seconds on the clock after each move. In a case where time increments are used, the total time per player for a 60-move game must be more than 10 minutes, but less than 60 minutes."
well....

It said more than 10 minutes is rapid so ten minutes is blitz
Why is 10|0 not counted as rapid when there's this humongous line b/w people who play 10|0 and those who play 3|0, 3|2,5|0,5|5
If you play one game of 10|0 against a random person then a game of 5|5 against another random person then you'd realise that those 10|0's are way better than the Blitz ones, yet 10|0 is counted as blitz... why is that
