Feature Request / Current Games - Watch (only) games 5min+

Antipodes_HIFIedited

Hello Lichess,

I do enjoy your site a lot. Sometimes I prefer to watch blitz games rather than play myself. But there is no way to get the 3 and 3+2 time control games out of the focus, because rating is the only decider in the chosen group „Blitz“. I prefer watching a little slower blitz games over the close to bullet time controls as mentioned above. Rapid again is a bit too slow...

Not a big thing, but maybe I am not the only one who‘d like to see this being possible.

Thanks for considering.

Good idea. Maybe just divide Lichess TV blitz section for superblitz(3+0) and blitz will be not hard. But these days, there's very little demand from people for anything that takes a long time: https://lichess.org/@/Lichess/blog/announcing-instant-chess/WN7V-jAA

It would also be good to promote playing longer and playing with increments, not just 3+0.
