As many of you may have noticed, lichess recently changed the hourly Bullet Arenas by lengthening the tournament duration from 30 minutes to 45 minutes. This was done largely as an attempt to highlight the endurance factor required by the players to win an official arena tournament, as well as to allow enough time for some players to recover from a poor start. Now that the new system has been in place for a while, the lichess development team is requesting feedback from the lichess community about this recent change. Namely, how long do you think the Hourly Arena Tournaments should last? Even if you don't necessarily play in these tournaments, maybe you watch some of them on YouTube or Twitch from people like [John Bartholomew]( www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkyhBFcAhFM), [ChessExplained]( www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtY-GRmU62Q), [Kingscrusher]( www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmqIWYu4Djw) or [Chessbrahs]( http://www.twitch.tv/chessbrah). How has this change affected your enjoyment of their content, if at all?
