About the 25+10 time control
With nearly half an hour plus increment, 25+10 gives you time to calculate properly and play a coherent plan, while still wrapping up faster than a true classical game.
It’s common in weekend rapid events and a good step up for players moving from blitz toward longer time controls.
In short: 25 minutes per player with 10 second increment, in the rapid range. Tap below to start it now, or read more about how the time-control tiers compare.
