About the 2+1 time control
The single second per move in 2+1 sounds trivial, but it changes the endgame: you can shuffle a king or queen without flagging instantly, so technique matters a little more than in 1+0.
It’s a popular middle ground for players who find 1+0 too brutal but still want true bullet pace.
In short: 2 minutes per player with 1 second increment, in the bullet range. Tap below to start it now, or read more about how the time-control tiers compare.
