Why so few 15+10 tournaments? • page 1/4 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

I'm a bit slow for 10+0 so I wonder why there are so few tournament with longer time controls? Why is that?

Too easy to cheat.

If someone wants to cheat it's possible in 10+0 too. And most cheaters are exposed eventually. Too bad for us that needs more time when playing - especially for older people.

you can cheat in any tc except for bullet, from 3+0 to 180 + 180 there are cheaters
I think it is because slower time controls are less popular so the tournaments wouldn't get populated and so that is why they do have many 15+10 20+0 etc tournaments

Maybe it's because Lichess is also a smaller platform. On chess.com there are quite a few daily tournaments in 15+10 and 30+0.

It is not necessarily a smaller platform. Lichess is very popular with lots of amazing players.

Maybe but the longer the time control the easier it is to cheat. While they may eventually be caught, they also just open another account.

Well at least Lichess has less tournaments to choose from. It's a pity for us older players who are slower at calculating and operating the mouse.

@herr_shaibel have a look at the "Swiss" style tournaments maybe

for example there is a huge team here https://lichess.org/team/lichess-swiss which organizes multiple 30+0 tournaments every day

(longer time controls are somewhat less suitable to Lichess' arena tournaments style)
