I do not know if I can trust to play here games with classical time control.  I feel like my opponent are not playing seriouslly. For example, I did note they play too fast...

15/10 per player is maximum for me. You're right few players play seriously. Longer than G_10, I would be opening at least 4 tabs.

IMO classical time control is only suitable for OTB play. It feels good to spend an afternoon playing 1~2 games with your club mates, then have a nice talk and maybe a couple of drinks.

Staring at a binary chessboard for hours straight when you can play something as exciting as Fortnite whenever you like? That doesn’t sound like a good idea. Most people put online chess in the video game category, and they will obviously go for the more exciting options, albeit less boring ones, if they are having an afternoon for video games.

No one plays seriously. Even I don't play seriously. I just play for fun. If I don't have time, I just resign in the middle. I don't care much about my chess.com rating. Note: I don't play live chess because of hackers who change the clock

 

How do hackers change the clock?

I have not frieds for play chess OTB and my opponents online looks like my enemies, I can feel the hate in his moves (lol).
I would like play chess in classic style, like magneto vs. xavier playing chess in a plastic prision... I dream move my knight and say: "your old tricks will not work with me anymore, old friend, checkmate!" or something like "on this board there is only room for one of us!".
Ok, enough romanticism, bullet session now!
