It would be interesting if the site showed the relative popularity of the various clock setting options for live rapid.
e.g. do most people play the default (30 minutes plus zero seconds per move) or are the other settings popular.
Erik did a post on this a year ago.
^You haven't got a link to that have you?
30 | 0 is the default for rapid so if I open a challenge I get a game in 5 seconds.
What are the top 3 or 4 most popular non default clock settings for rapid?
Would be useful to know for opening live challenges that are likely to be met reasonably quickly.
I played a 60 | 0 game once but that took a few minutes to get a match.

^Great. Thanks for that.
I guess the much shorter time controls top the board since you can play many more short games.
I think all but 2 of the time controls in the article are Blitz?
I only play 1 game a day (30 | 0) plus a 1 Daily always on the go.
Would be interesting of they could do some numbers for rapid only time controls (i.e. excluding the Blitz numbers) so the Rapid players can get a handle on what the relative popularity of the longer time controls are.
