Feature Requests: Remove redundancy and add new time control

#11

Yes. @KnightSearch I would be all for 15+1 or 10+5. 15+15 is way to much increment in my opinion.

@Ugalde tpr is not wrong. The average game of chess is 40 moves long the fact that you tend to lose quickly is not relevant here. Besides it is about having at least 15 secs for any given move, which is enough to play at least some type of a logical move.

Why do you want to play Rapid or Classical without an increment?

The stats show that there are a lot of games like this - and I'd like to know why people like it.

When I played OTB chess, 20+0, 40+0 or 90+0 were common time controls. No-increment slow chess is well established. The reason is also that before fancy digital chess clocks were readily available, the concept of increment wasn't really a thing.

Unfortunately, it seems that the discussion is not much ongoing since December 2019. It seems that the developers did not manage to reach a consensus.

I am exhausted from living in a world that moves so fast.

I deeply dislike that a game as old as chess is also infected with that vertiginous rhythm.

This is the reason why I proposed 30+30. I do not want the pressure of a clock to bitter my gaming experience.

It doesn't matter if they apply 30+0, 30+30 or 45+0. What I want is to return humanity to the game: accompany my chess games with a cup of coffee and a good conversation.

I've commented on the GitHub issue although I'm less optimistic than most about the proposal.

God, what a superfluous suggestion!
Why should anybody make the effort of programming a thing that is so easily available already? And think about the discussion "no , better 30+5", " no, "35+0" ....
Sometimes there are feature requests where you think: Well that might be a lot of work, but if a programmer wants to do it, I'd approve. But this? Without any real improvement? Do it yourself, it is open source, but I hope nobody will be so stupid to consider this a task.

The funny thing is, in this case someone submitted an untested code patch, although there isn't a great way to test this on all devices either.

I wish to express my disgust regarding the way as derogatory as the user named @Sybotes is expressed in comment # 18.

This user uses expressions like "superfluous suggestion" and "I hope nobody will be so stupid to consider this a task".

Why do you rate the ideas proposed to improve Lichess as "superfluous" or "stupid"?
What is your argument to support such claims?

You have the right to express your disagreement, but present mathematical or statistical evidence to support your point of view.

His phrases manifest a hostile attitude that brings NOTHING good to the discussion.

This forum is supposed to contribute ideas, but your toxic attitude is intended to discourage the opinions of those who don't think like you. Badly done...
