Best Time of Day to Play 45|45

Sort:
Avatar of JamesY2525
Hello,

I wanted to know what the distribution of 45|45, or at least standard players is throughout the day. I would like to plan my day around the time where I would have the lowest wait time for a 45|45 game as I can wait an hour and still not find one, even though I am only 1500. I do have my rating filter set to -25, +200 most of time but lower it if I struggle to find a game.

Thanks,
James

I was thinking you should join a club for playing slow chess and ask there. I see you are a member of: https://www.chess.com/club/world-standard-time-control-chess-club-365-days-a-year

Have you gotten any games there?

Another active club is:

Thank you for your reply. 

I have joined some clubs and am attempting to reach out.

 

Do you know how to locate the statistics on the most popular times of day to find game searches for 45|45?

 

Thanks,

James

Se pueden asistir a las partidas en linea, cada jugador posee oro o alguna moneda de la aplicacion, seria de interes que se pudiera apostar por tal o cual jugador de alguna partida en juego, despues de todo es solo una idea.

This is very interesting. I have also had great difficulty getting any 45/45 games.

If it is possible to know if there is a “popular” time for this time control, I would be excited to learn about it. 
To the original poster: James, our ratings are rather different, but perhaps you and I could find a time to play, if you like.

That sounds great, I just reached out to you.

Hi, I've noticed that seeks after 10:30 pm PT for 30|30 Rated unlimited & 25+ are usually matched in less than 1 minute (I'm under 1000 elo though so that may be a factor).  It may work for your time control as well.

Also, it may help if you added some type of pfp that catches the eye?

Hope that helps and enjoy your future classical games.

That was helpful, thank you.

I have a similar question about 10+5 or 10+10. Since they're not default options (only available under "custom"), I know they're not commonly played time controls. But I'd love to see stats on what time of day I'm more likely to get a match. (Most times I try, it just endlessly seeks without matching.)

Perhaps you could start a different thread to bring more awareness to these topics, also as those time formats are a bit different.


I sometimes enjoy playing 15+0 on chess tempo which should be about the same amount of time as 10 + 5 . I can get a game quite quickly too.

 

This doesn’t work as well for slow games on that site as fewer people are on it and I keep getting matched against the same players (which obviously isn’t the reason why my standard rating there is 2100 instead of 14/1500 like on chess.com).

 

chesstempo might help with the ego though so I can’t complain.
