Thanks a ton for adding 45+45, now I can just “friend” an opponent in [Lichess4545.com](http://Lichess4545.com) League and challenge. I also noticed the new button is lonely on the second row, so I thought you could also add 15+15 and 20+10, which are the other popular classical TCs that players have on Lichess. For example, 20+10 is used in the weekly arena or the monthly classical shield. 15+15 is the minimal TC that counts as classical on Lichess, so people often use it to get a non-provisional rating.

With those two added, we’d have a 2x3 lineup of TC buttons. Thanks!

I’m not on the beta but just wondering what the Lichess time controls are? My preferred time control is 30+30 so would just like to know if that is on there.

Why not something NOT quite so slow, like 15+3 or 10+5? Those are some VERY long TC’s you are asking for. Of course if the options are unlimited…then fine.

Thanks for that idea Timothy - I agree it looks odd with just the one option on the last line of each.

Cornfed: 10+5 is available under the next category down, “Rapid”

I’m pulling down last months Lichess games to review for time format popularity.

15+15 and 20+10 are on the way. Also adding 15 minute rapid.

Is the 30+30 format only available on the chessup2? I do t see it offered on the app. Been waiting a long time for 30+30 and 45+45 (or just allow custom times as permitted by the lichess app)

30+30 and 45+45 are available on ChessUp2 for direct challenges only and our Android app, but not yet on our iOS app. We do plan to address this.
