RE: 5th Chess960 Hivechess Torunament

Who's idea was it to do 3 2 for chess 960 out of curiosity? Because it's honestly a terrible way to play chess. 960 takes quite a bit each position to study to even understand it (see all of the top GM world events where they get 10 minutes before the games and often still are confused) so why have a such a fast time control? Like it's essentially just sloppy chess. But I guess to each their own. I'd highly recommend at least 15 minutes a side for any 960 style tournaments. Perhaps correspondence would even be better.

You are right, it is faster for sure but people are getting use to it. More time means less games in 1 hour tournament lets say. There are 3 + 1 weekly chess960 tournament for titled players already. Any blitz mode may not be helpful for your chess no matter variant. So it may be fun for now. Nothing bad in trying. Blunders are part of game as well
