Re: National FIDE rated rapidplay event - JRedpath - 04-07-2016
Good idea, would be interested without the increment. Don't know who needs a 10 second increment to play a rapid game, especially when already have 25 minutes, makes no sense!
Good luck with event.

Pretty much becoming the norm Joe.
Does away with claiming a draw (the old 10.2) which players seem to like
Re: National FIDE rated rapidplay event - JRedpath - 04-07-2016
Seems to be so.. But 10 seconds is too much. If the point of increment is to stop slow players losing on time then 2 or 3 seconds is adequate!

Why not open a poll and see what the preference is.
For me I would go for 25-30 min with no increment, but if increment is essential then the less the better, anymore than 5 seconds for a rapid game is too much. Something like 20 2 or 20 3 sounds OK.

Watch the Grand Chess Tour Rapid on Youtube/Livestream and tell me if it's too much.
