There has been a change. Now 10 mins game will be considered in a Rapid category and not blitz. 

Also 150 points will be increased to everyone in bullet ratings. 

For more details check out this news -

Also 10mins is the most played category of time control on Chess.com. 

I personally think it's a very good move. 

So what you guys think about this change?

Great! I was wondering whats wrong with my bullet rating. This seems like a good change☺️

I totally support this! It wasn't fair before when 3/0 and 10/0 both counted as blitz.

10/0 is a totally different ball game to 3/0. They need separate rating categories.

It used to match FIDE regulations where 10|0 is blitz.

yeah, it was an exclamation mark move! because so many kids were thinking 10 minute was blitz game because it was in blitz category! but everyone knew it wasn't!

also I haven't still gotten my 150 bullet rating, but i guess it will come eventually.

 I have stopped playing both blitz 10 mnts(my favorite)and 15/10 mnts rapid when I found that eight to nine out of ten players cheat on chess com with site unable to do anything.I play on 3 other sites also where cheating  is comparatively less about one or two out of ten cheating with engine.

So... with this classification change, could we migrate my thousands (and the sites millions) of 10/0 of games I've played over to the rapid category so I (and everyone) don't need to play a few hundred more games to start getting relivent opponents again?
