Hello everyone,
I greatly enjoy the Arena tournaments here on lichess, however I do have a question about time controls: The arena tournaments mostly use move times without increment (10+0, 5+0, 3+0, 1+0 and so on), the only arena with increments I could find is the bullet 1+1.
My question is why there are no arenas with increment time controls, for example 10+10 or maybe 8+5, and for blitz for example 3+2. I think there is a fair amount of players that would also enjoy these time controls, probably if they suffer from bad time management like me ;)
Or is there any problem with these time controls in arena games? Or are there hints that a vast majority prefer time controls without increments? That would be interesting to me as well.
Just an idea for a discussion :)
