Please place 10|5 rapid on the game selection screen
Sort:
People generally don't seem to click "more time controls", they just choose the given choices. Sometimes one must wait 10 mins for a 10|5 game (whereas a 10 minute game is instantaneous).
This must be a trivial software change.
Agreed. 10 minute is trash, 10|5 is much closer to true chess.

If they add one, I hope it’s a longer one that still has increment, like 20|5. Even 30|1 would make winning endgames easier.

If enough players are playing a time control, it would likely be on the lead screen.
It's switched, dear @Martin_Stahl. If the time control is not on the lead screen, it's not played enough. A lot of players don't even know there is anything other than the lead screen.

The site has data on what's commonly played. The site has changed the default values over the years as well, and knows what has been popular historically.
If a lot of members were creating challenges/seeks with other time controls, that would show demand for them, and possibly inform future changes.
