Back to forum Thibault de Vassal (2010-04-24) Bullet & lightning time controls The bullet & lightning games are slowly but surely gaining in popularity, the next freestyle tournaments should help to continue this way... Now that the touch-move option appeared at FICGS (see Preferences), maybe the bullet & lightning time controls should be faster to make it more different from each other and from blitz. So far bullet is : 10 min. + 20 sec. / move , lightning : 30 min. + 1 min. / move Maybe we could envisage this change : Bullet : 5 min. + 15 seconds / move , lightning : 20 min. + 30 seconds / move Any opinion? Scott Nichols (2010-04-24 18:01:34) Bullet & lightning time controls I like the changes you suggest. Thibault de Vassal (2010-04-24 18:14:51) Bullet & lightning time controls Three possible options IMO : 1) Bullet : 5 min. + 15 seconds / move , lightning : 10 min. + 30 sec. / move 2) Bullet : 5 min. + 15 seconds / move , lightning : 20 min. + 30 sec. / move 3) Bullet : 5 min. + 15 seconds / move , lightning : 30 min. + 30 sec. / move Maybe I hesitate between 1 & 3 finally... Kamesh Nookala (2010-04-24 19:27:43) Bullet & lightning time controls Thib, how about 15+30 for Lightning. If you see 5+15 and 20+30, there appears to be a huge gap. However, i feel I can agree with any of them :) Just a suggestion :-O Wayne Lowrance (2010-04-25 02:15:13) Bullet & lightning time controls Thibault, I like all 3 of the 5 min versions you have brought up. No problem with me Wayne Wayne Lowrance (2010-04-25 02:17:33) Bullet & lightning time controls On second thought, I am thinking a 30 second increment for lightening is to long. Maybe shorten it. Jut a thought Wayne Thibault de Vassal (2010-04-25 02:30:48) Bullet & lightning time controls Finally and unless someone can convince me for another option, I think I'll make the changes to option 2 tomorrow : Bullet : 5 min. + 15 seconds / move , lightning : 20 min. + 30 sec. / move I think that's the good distance for lightning between bullet & blitz time controls. Thibault de Vassal (2010-04-25 19:39:42) Bullet & lightning time controls Sorry I missed your message Wayne. Well, 30 seconds looks even a bit short to me compared to the blitz time control. Hard to find the perfect scheme. Wayne Lowrance (2010-04-25 19:45:53) Bullet & lightning time controls Okey Dokie Thibault. I am fine with it Wayne Thibault de Vassal (2010-04-27 18:27:38) New bullet time control Any feedback on the new bullet time control? (5 min. + 15 sec/move) Do you think it should be even faster or is it ok? ;)
