It seems a bit weird that the longest time tournament is just 10+0.
cheaters
Cheating is one issue, but it pertains to 10+0 as well. I guess it is just popularity. 10+0 is less popular than 5+0, which is less popular than 3+0, which is less popular than 1+0.
@tpr which is less popular than 1/2, which is more popular than 1/4.
Most of all, I would like tournaments with increment... Of course, that may be less popular. But it is still best chess, especially at the conclusion of the games.
I would want to see longer time control tournaments as well but that would allow more cheaters and would split players more
The present 10+0 tournaments last 2 hours. So 15+0 should last 3 hours to get a reasonable number of rounds. How many people would commit to an online tournament of 3 hours?
Try the LoneWolf tourneys!
There are U1500, 1700, 2000 Classical tournaments.
What is created by the site gets to be popular.
Some people prefer slower time controls. But I also like increments.
The problem of having it in tournaments is having to wait for others to finish, if you all have to start the second round together.
I think an automatic adjudication system would be a good idea, by the way. But that's too cool for your site.
(For an automatic adjudication system you have a setting such as 5|10 but the game never lasts longer than say 30 minutes total. At that point, assuming nobody has lost on time, the game is played out automatically by two robots at a very fast speed and that decides that result).
