Fast, but Classic? Understanding the Three Time Controls
Sometimes we associate chess players with different time controls — some of them are sprinters, while others prefer marathons.

This is the question Total Chess wants to answer, both at the pilot, and in the full tour starting in 2027 where the FIDE World Combined Champion will be decided. So which time controls will the players face?
