Hi everyone,

I have recently joined this community and have a question according to games with different time capacities.

As far as I know rapid is an equivalent of a 15/10 minute game, blitz of a 10 minute game and bullet of a 1 minute game.

So to which category are the rest of the timed games assorted to? There are also 2/1 minute, 3 minute, 3 minute, 3/2 minute, 5 minute, 5/5 minute, 30 minute and 45 minute games.

To which category to they belong (rapid/blitz/bullet)?

1-2:59= bullet

3:00-10:00= blitz

>10 = rapid

Isn't 3:00 to 14:00 Blitz?

Live Chess has three different ratings based on different time controls:

 

Bullet rating - For games under 3 minutes.

Blitz rating - For games of 3 minutes to 14 minutes.

Standard rating - For games 15 minutes and longer.
