When games are posted on chess.com it seems critical to know the time control of the game. But the time control is never given in the header. Is it a blitz game, a rapid game, a classical game? Players play classical games very differently than blitz, so knowing the time control is very important when trying to understand a chess game.
Here is a screen shot of one example from a recent news article:
What is the time control of this game?I only know that this is a blitz game from reading the article. But even then, is it G/5, 3+2?
Please add the time control info to the game headers.
I agree. The info on whether or not a game is rated is important too. It's nice if someone beats a master in a simul, but that kind of info could be covered by simply recording the game as unrated.
The time control field already exist in the specifications for pgns. If the pgn comes in with the info missing, there's not much chess.com can do but if it exists, it should be shown.
There is no field specified for rated/unrated but one of the event tags could be used.
