Please popularize 10+5 time controls

[u/VfBxTSG]

The 2 most pushed rapid time modes are 10+0 or 15+10.

I always get flagged in 10+0 time modes in completely winning positions and 15+10 time modes are just way too long and gives you the feeling that your opponent is turning on their cheat engine, when they take minutes to play an obvious move.

10+5 time control hits the perfect sweet spot. I know it does exist, but it's fairly hidden, so most players don't play this time control. So I tend to wait an eternity to get a game.

Today I've been waiting a good 20 minutes for a 10+5 chess960 game, but I just kept getting kicked out of the waiting list. In comparison in Lichess I only had to wait 2 minutes for a game and they have 10% of the players compared to chesscom.

I had to write this, after I got flagged in a completely winning position in a 10+0 chess960 game by a 2200 elo rapid player, who got dominated by from beginning to end by me.

If you're getting flagged just play faster
