Chess.com needs a classical category

I am sorry if there is already a thread on this, but I am making my opinion known.

Kudos to Chess.com for making 10 minutes rapid, and NOT blitz. But you have the same rating whether you play 10|0 or 90|30.

Can Chess.com implement a classical rating? Maybe 30 minutes per side or above. Raise your hand if you agree! 🙌

I agree

I agree

30/d5 is considered a Classical game by official USCF tournament directors.

It's rather fast by my standards for a classical game, but I would say that's the minimum.

To the OP, yes absolutely.  There should be a Classical rating category.  There's lots of people who won't cheat.  Of course, there are many who do, but don't let the cheaters spoil it for everyone else.

I agree.

Regardless of what we call it, I think the point of the original post is that there should be a category for longer time controls.  Rather than calling anything 10 minutes or more "rapid".

I agree for a classical format. I also want to put forward my opinion on the fact that , I am happy 10|0 is no more called blitz but I still don't consider it long enough to be categorized as rapid.

+1

I definitely agree. I found it strange how it only went up to rapid. Classical is a big one.

That would be great to see

I agree! It would be much more interesting to play longer games without mixing them up with 10 min rating.

Yeah, 30 minutes per side is a long time control for most people's standards. 

    Count me in!

   If the current trend in chess continues, 5/0 time control will someday become rapid as  well.

Agreed. 

that's nowhere even close to rapid.

Agreed

Rapid --- anything 10 - 29 minutes

Classical 30 --- anything 30 - 59 minutes

Classical 60 --- anything 60 or more minutes

I agree, anything over 30+0 Should be a different rating category                

That's actually an excellent idea, I can't wait to see this in action!
