I have played rapid and blitz games in this site before and I love the feel of the gameplay and all but, few weeks ago, I noticed that chess.com doesn't have classical chess. In my opinion, classical chess rating of a specific player would be a better way of telling the performance of a player as they would have more time to calculate the moves before they play it. This way, non-FIDE rated players would have an idea of what their classical chess rating would be if they played over the board games, tournaments supported by FIDE. I hope this would have been a good suggestion to improve the website 😊.

My understanding is there are plans to add another pool for longer live play, though nothing like multiple time controls. I haven't seen when it might be available but know it requires significant work to implement.
