Raise Time Control from 3 min to 5 min or 3+2 on Daily Horde...must happen

3 minutes is a STUPID tc for horde.
The vast majority of games at that TC will end up either a flag or simply a blunder fest. Black gets a stupid heavy advantage at a low TC since whites moves are much more thought oriented.

Just look at how few people play in the daily horde tourny.
What...10? Sometimes only 5? Often its just 3 or 4 people everyone else joins, gets one game loss via flag and leaves.

Fix this please.
No replies? Not one?

So it makes sense to people that Daily Antichess is 3 minutes; which is a variant that is over 90% of the time in 20 or less moves.

And horde is a variant ALWAYS takes 50+ moves to reach variant end; so its cool to have daily at a TC of 3 minute forcing you to move at least once every 3.6 seconds or you will 100% always run out of time?

Idiocy.
I havent played a whole lot of Horde but what you say makes perfect sense.

Ive tried to play a couple games at 3minutes and its impossible unless Im just moving without thinking and its a flag battle; which is really really dumb; especially for a daily deal.

They should definitely change the TC; hell look at the amount of people in todays tourny.

16 and half of them dropped after 1 game? Thats pathetic.
