Rapid chess

#1

Hello,

I have looked at a few internet websites and I have discovered a category of chess that is called "rapid chess" and that should be between "blitz" and "classical" time controls if I understood well.

I would like to know why it is not implemented here.

Thanks!

Too many different player pools I guess.

That would be great anyways, it looks like a good compromise between blitz and classical.

And I always have the feeling that a 8+0 game is not really classical, or even a 10+0 like in the tournaments.

Rapid chess is typically 30 minutes per side. On the internet, that's a lifetime. I think we have to call that Classical. :-)

What is between rapid and blitz then? Here after 8 minutes, it is not blitz anymore.

The time controls are totally different here than elsewhere?
