Hey everyone,

I'm new and can't figure out how to start a standard game. I tried the 10 and 30 minutes options, but they counted as blitz and rapid. I don't see any options for an even slower game...thanks for helping!

There is an option in "custom" for a 60 minute game, and you can set it manually even slower, but good luck finding a match.  Most folks who want to play slow games end up joining one of the clubs; it's the easiest place to find opponents and they have regular tournaments.  I'll run around and find you a link...

This is the most popular but there a a few others if you search Clubs. Have fun!

Glad to help.  You have to jump through a few hoops to be eligible, but nothing major.
