>>I prefer the 45/45 option
What do those time options mean with pipe separator?
I have the options 15|10 3|2 2|1 1|1 45|45 5|5
What do the 2 numbers represent?
The first number is minutes; the second is an increment of seconds added after every move. So 45/45 is forty-five minutes with 45 seconds added after every move.
Its not because of cheating that people play bullet. Its because they find it fun to try to flag the opponent and play quick and good. Personally, there is no way i could ever even play a 10 minute game. Usually i dont have that much time and these longer time controls are meant only for tournament play. Online, 45 min and 30 min is very long and boring which is why many people choose to play blitz and also why games are found every couple of seconds in blitz, whereas every 5-10 minutes for a 45|45 game
