Maximum Fischer Time Settings for Live Games

[shinuito]

So maybe there’s more of a chance to get this update if we come up with a concrete limit to increment it to.

I’ve commented on other threads and on GitHub I think that at the very least EGF class A games should be playable on OGS. E.g 65m+5s

This seems reasonably concrete.

But more so if we take the games being played now I think the settings are 1hr+30s increment.

If you blitzed the first 60 moves you could gain 30 minutes.

So I feel like even bumping the cap up to 2 hours is probably going to be reasonable?

If you blitzed a 200 move game (that is 100 moves) you’re still only gaining about 50 minutes, so 2 hours isn’t sounding unreasonable to me.

Again looking at @teapoweredrobot’s quotes from above.

So, according to this open GitHub issue , anoek is closed to the idea of removing the cap, but is open to the idea of extending the cap beyond its current point, however there has apparently not been enough discussion about this to convince him it is sufficiently desired by the general community. So yeah I guess keep bitching about it making rational arguments for your case until he agrees to fix it
