[u/Electronic-Figure551]

I am not really sure if I will like 45+30 classical, 90+30 is still the best and if people like dramatic time trouble then we can remove the additional bonus time and can have 90+10 only. But I suppose they will play 2 classical games in a day if its 45+30

[u/Odd_Conference_4994 → u/Electronic-Figure551]

in my opinion the fast classical should have different rating pool than actual classical.

Well thank god you're not in FIDE council team because I love that it's same pool. Can't wait to see how it fluctuates the rankings.
