[Feature request] Increments of less than a second

Yes, I also think that there should be more options for even shorter time controls.
0+¼,
⅛+0,
0+⅛ (possibly)
would be very nice to see.
savagechess2k this is a very fair point! I climbed the rankings of some variants by just playing ½+0 and ½+1 kind of stuff. Perhaps variants shouldn't be played at lower time controls in the first place indeed. This is a good suggestion for a separate thread & discussion?
Chesstroll_Ingot this 0+⅛ is what I suggested in the ⅛+0 thread and what made me think of all increment games feeling 'slow' because of the +1 minimum. Although my suggested +0.1 is even less than +0.125, I think the focus should first be on undermining the +1 convention, that's why I started the thread modestly by proposing ½+½ and ¼+¼... 0+⅛ and 0+.1 may seem too extreme to start off with. But I agree it would be nice. I'm hoping others have some more thoughts on the full second increment...
