Byo-Yomi settings for a new Rapid category seems pretty well agreed upon at 5m+5x30s (or 5m+3x30s, which results in nearly identical game durations)
The Fisher counterpart eludes me a bit though. I normally reach for some data analysis to answer such questions, however even with thousands of samples our data set yields some counter intuitive results, such as 2m+20s games taking substantially less time than either 2m+10s or 2m+15s games, as well as 2m+15s games taking substantially more time than 5m+30s games.
Trying to extrapolate game estimated game durations by doing math on estimated number of moves * move time and whatnot doesn’t seem to yield results that are anywhere close to reality, so I don’t think that method is particularly useful in this case either.
So, I think I’m going to ignore all of that and just try to get a feel from y’all as to what some reasonable times for Fischer clocks would be.
Specifically, those that have a feel for playing with a fisher clock, what do you think would be appropriate for Blitz, Rapid, and Classic time settings?
