Not sure if Lichess already has stats on this, but I'm curious to see the general playing distribution of the four main Blitz time controls. Which do you prefer playing online?
React with a thumbs up for 3+0
React with a thumbs down for 3+2
React with thonk for 5+0
React with horsey for 5+3
I don't remember where, but I've seen graphs of the general distribution for time control popularity, and 3+2 and 5+0 were probably the most popular
It would be simple to find the general distribution- you'd just need the PGN files and count up all the instances of 3+0, 3+2, 5+0, and 5+3 games
If you have some programming experience the database for all played games is here:
database.lichess.org/ You can download it and find the distribution across tc's using it :)
#4 Yeah, I'll probably do that sometime soon- want to do some other analysis too.
