Time Control Changes?

I prefer 5/2 over 3/2 and 25/5 over 30/0.

I would also like to see: 30/30, 45/45, and 90/30.

perhaps specifically listing 45/45 or 90/30 would encourage more people to play these time controls on the internet. but I doubt it. most people who play slower time controls on the internet play with people they know and arrange it ahead of time. these time controls can be manually created with the "custom" function. it'll show up on the graph, anyone who sees it can click it.

besides the obvious fact that most people don't want to commit to a game of that length on the internet, there's the additional factor of there being much higher risk of foul-play in regards to playing longer time controls on the internet with people you don't know.

I still think we should have both 3/2 and 5/2. I never play long games so I don't care what you do with those, just get the 3/2 and keep the 5/2.

yeah that should be bullet and blitz respectively and they should have separate pools and ratings for those as well as for 1 0 3 0 5 0. I think I've seen this kind of arrangement somewhere else before but I don't quite remember where. (maybe this costs money or something? idk)

So with 99% of the people in here wanting slower time controls, I predict they add a bunch of new blitz defaults.

A large and growing segment of this community plays Slow Chess and time controls like 30/30, 45/45, and 90/30 are important. Please consider them

Avatar of Jimcube27

we should implement longer time controls too, say 45|45?

Slower time controls please! 45/45 and 90/30

Adding slow time controls such as 45/45 and 90/30 brings an OTB experience to Chess.com and is very useful for training for OTB tournaments. These slow time controls would be a valuable addition to Live Chess play.

I like the changes but keep 5|2 and add 45|45 and 90|30.

25/5 sounds awesome :)

I think it would be great to have some two groups where you can select slower time controls from 25|5, 30|30, 45|45, 90|30 etc ... and faster time controls 1, 2|1, 3, 3|2, 5, 10, 15 etc ...

Chess.com NEEDS 30/30, 45/45, and 90/30 .  I would also personally like to see a 10minute time control with increment (maybe 10/2 or 10/5), but that is a lower priority in my opinion.

We need longer time controls: 45/45; 45/40; 90/30...

Avatar of JTarr56

In my way of thinking (which can be pretty slow!), I enjoy the 45/45 and 90/30. I can follow and play games better if they are slower. I can appreciate the views of the other side, but enjoy the slower pace myself.

Thanks

You should add 45/0 , 60/5 or 60/0. It wil be very useful for those who really wants  to improve their chess. Slow time control allows us to calculate more precisley different variation and it is  more fun to play more importantly here somebody may not loose game just because of the time. The real soul of chess is hidden in deep analysis of position rather than palying head cutt chicken!

45|45 & 90|30. If I had to chose between the two, my vote would go to 90|30.

Avatar of slowlybutsurely79

I would like to see 30/30, 45/45, and 90/30

Chess.com would be the only website on the internet that offers it

Avatar of Zenwolf5

If you get rid of 30|0, I would prefer it was replaced with something  longer. Having any of the following time controls would be wonderful: 30|30, 45|5, 60|5, 45|45, 90|5, and 90|30.
