What qualifies the games for bullet,  blitz and standard.

Avatar of Erik2

I'm pretty sure bullet is 2 minutes and less.  Blitz is 2-5 minutes  and standard is 5 or more.

 

you'll have to double check though because that might not be right

Bullet- 1 min per player

Blitz - 5 minutes per player

I once played 10 minutes here and it was my only blitz game.

I'm pretty sure it is neccessary at least 15 minutes to be standard, unless they changed this since april 2010 (I don't play Live here since then).

Bullet = 1-2 minutes

Blitz = 3-14 min

Standard = 15 + min

i don't know how chess.com defines it, but bullet is 1 min. fast blitz is 3 min. blitz is 5 min.

Avatar of Atos

No, standard on this site is from 15 minutes upwards. (Not counting increments, 10 minutes would be standard if there is an 8 seconds increment or so.)

Oh okay, I see you edited it now.

Withoout looking to see if the #'s have already been posted here is the list from the help pages:

As a reference, here are the basic pre-sets available in Live:

Time Control  Estimated Length  Game/rating type 
5 | 0 5 minutes Blitz
10 | 0 10 minutes Blitz
2 | 12 10 minutes Blitz
3 | 0 3 minutes Bullet
4 | 4 ~6.5 minutes Blitz
15 | 10 ~22 minutes Standard
1 | 5 ~4.5 minutes Blitz
1 | 0 1 minute Bullet

Oh, and this from that page too, using average game length of 40 moves (with increments):

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.

or timeout. lots of bullet/blitz games end with timeout.

That chart doesn't include lag and isn't accurate for a 60 move game.


It may not be accurate but it does reflect how the site rates games at those time controls.

a prevous post said:

In Live Chess, you can establish three separate ratings:

 Bullet: < 3 min per side;

 Blitz: 3 to 14 min per side;

 Standard: 15+ min per side.
