New to OGS.
What is the preferred time control system for most players for friendly games?
Especially in 9x9 games, where I plan to spend some time.

Correspondence: Fischer is very popular
Live/Blitz: Byo-Yomi is very popular

Those are also the default settings, so it makes it a bit tricky to say if prevalence really reflects preference, so let’s take a poll.

You may select multiple options in the below polls (select all to indicate no preference).

Which time control do you prefer for Correspondence?

  • Fischer
  • Byo-Yomi
  • Canadian
  • Simple
  • Absolute
  • None
