I've noticed on Lichess they have a classical time control. Personally I think that could be useful to get some more practice for those of us who want to do otb tournaments, and it could open up a whole new category of tournaments and leaderboards. Obviously with slower time controls it means there's more opportunity for cheating, but chess.com's cheating algorithms should handle that.
Lichess calls games over 20 minutes classical though, that's a bit too short. But what about games longer than 30 minutes? Plus some 90+30 tournaments sometimes?
My understanding is the site is planning on adding a Classical time control but there was no indication given about what the time control minimum would be.
However, it was going to take a while to implement due to database sizes and adding fields to it.
