Why do I feel frustrated when I lose time at antichess 1+0?
How are you feeling?
Is it a good tc for antichess?
I think that 0+2 would be much better and more instructive than 1+0
Who plays 1+0?
Those players who like to win on time and do not have good notions about endings
Comment if you want the tc change from 1+0 to 0+2
1+1 is better.
I think it should be changed to the following
1+0 to 0+2
2+0 to 1+1
3+0 to 1+3
5+0 to 2+2
Both r oke
I agree, playing without time increments is often the cause of unfortunate defeats. So you can either not play this mode, but I think 1+1 would be ideal
TL;DR
I would like to see:
- do not take out 1+0 completely, but still add 0+2, meaning that one of 1+0 30 minute arenas will be swapped with 0+2. It would be Great compromise
- change every second 5+0 to 3+2 if possible, to increase the general amount of incremental arenas
- make 5+3 happen daily/weekly with overall 2hrs timespan on it

Tbh, I don't like playing Hourly arenas for that reason too. Often times 1+0 or 3+0 ends in the time scramble in my games. Even though it is only my problem, I have to say that the slow players like me, who really grind for anti, only can enjoy 5+0 and shields with 3+2.
That being said 1+0 is specifically designed bullet Arena, where the main focus must be on the time management and fast play, not the quality of the game. "If you are slow, then play blitz" - type of games are played there. So it should stay here, for all of those fast players who enjoy flagging or punishing mistakes of their opponents on the spot.
Yet I would like to change the fact that there are only a few incremental arenas per day, being 0+2 and 1+2 with rare events with 3+2. Those are not the real slow games we shall agree as all of those (except 3+2) do not give a sufficient amount of time to think and play in the middlegames as oftentimes we do have not enough incremented time, albeit we have great endgame showcases which really changes the game quality. Thus I would enjoy seeing more incremental arenas to play thoroughly calculated games with time controls being closer to 2+2, 3+2, 3+1 (5+3 would be great, however, it would take at least 2hrs for a sufficient amount of games to happen, so i don't know about this one).
I like 1 0
I don't like short time. I prefer 5+0 or 3+0 but I would like 3+2 or 2+2
Personally -- I'd support changing one of the 1+0 arenas to 0+2 or 0+3.
I.e. instead of 2x 1+0 back to back, there would be a 1+0, followed by an incremental.
It would not be wise to have too many incremental arenas -- they are prone to people burning time (e.g. when faced with k v k positions).
Yes, I agree! The game with the addition of time is more interesting.
