suggestion: replace the 02:30 (1+0) zh 30 min arena with a 30 min (2+1) arena to avoid repetitive (1+0) bullet zh arenas? |
I agree with the idea, but instead of replacing 1+0 with 2+1, it can be replaced with 1+1 (like bullet U2000, U1700 etc arenas) or something with less initial time; in order to make the time control as close to 1+0 as possible. |
Print time controls and clean up condition strings. Always compare multiline strings rather than lists, as it produces more helpful error messages.

I'll replace all top hour variant bullet tourneys with 1+1. So first it will be 1+1, then 1+0. This is a draft FYI, more adjustments to come. The zh increment schedule is screwed up in the screenshot as well. |

changed the title
1) For the four most popular variants, make hourlys constant. - Atomic and Antichess tend to be played faster, so give them more bullet - In contrast, chess960 isn't played as fast - In contrast, zh isn't played as fast, and, additionally, game length is hard to predict, so keep zhInc function as is, so to maintain high freq of zh tourneys with at least +1 inc. 2) Add back zh elite tourney. The zh team elite tourneys are too hard to find. 3) Adjust tourney UI to group the popular variants in their own lanes.

@cFlour I don't agree re 1+1, imo it is a universally disliked TC |
