I *did* post the same topic yesterday, but I guess this is a much better section for it.

So, please, let us play real bullet games with a 10s + 1s per move time control.

Is there anything preventing you from specifying those time controls now?

Who else here would like to have a wider choice what you can play on 'live chess'?

10s + 1s increment seems to be better than 1min. only. It's not a biggie but it would be nice to have more choice.

I wish the time units on Initial Time and Bonus Time were labelled on the form.

10 and -1 would be intriguing (today only).

Or better yet:  provided as options in a drop-down (seconds, minutes and hours perhaps?). 

If this were implemented, namely the ability to create seeks where the initial time was below one-minute, I think the seeks graph might need a little attention.  It might also be good to impose minimum and maximum total times (i.e. 30 sec. and 3 hours or something similar with total time being calculated as initial time + 20 x bonus time).

chess.com get hundreds of suggestions. If they started acknowledging every one, there'd be less time to actually get real work done.
