Forgive me if this topic has been posted before but I could not find one like it ( Found one for turn base chess) in the forums. What is your favorite time control for live chess online? OTB? If you could post your preferred for blitz and standard that would be nice. For me my favorite is 90 minutes +30 seconds

20+10. No stress, plenty of time to think.

On this site if overall time is less than 3 - it's a bullet. If it's equal to 3, I think it's also a bullet (but things may have changed).

Overall time is a sum of minutes per game and seconds per move.

 

Example: 3 3 (overall time 3+3=6 => not a bullet)

               1 1 (overall time 1+1=2 => a bullet type game)

Incorrect. for an a|b game, a being the initial time and b being the bonus time, calculate x=3a+2b. If x is less than 9, the game is bullet. If x is between 9 and 44 inclusively, the game is blitz. If x is 45 or more, the game is standard.


 thanks , i think this is the general equation

I only play Standard here, from 25 to 60 min, with or without delay/bonus.
