Increment for antichess arenas

#9 In antichess, white can be lost by force after one move
@Link you have a point, but unfortunately most of the players refuse the draw by repetition and start moving their king everywhere on the board to get the win
My proposal is change the daily antichess tournament time. It is imposible to european people to play it.
#11 Moreover, in antichess black is lost by force before move 1 ;-)
I'd say that in all variants, low-rated players can be defeated very quickly. However, even when a player has got a forced loss in antichess, (s)he almost always has a choice of moves, and so (s)he can think long in such situations. Some players prefer to sacrifice the beauty of antichess endgames and play fast time control games just to avoid this though.
If bughouse came on lichess then it will be most popular among other variants.
That's like in a king or Bishop and pawn endgame though @RealNP The rest are mostly fair game with some exceptions

No shame in that if you are in a tournament. If its a lobby game and you know your opponent isn't making a mistake, yeah, offer the draw. 9/10 it'll be one anyway
Yes variant chess formats demand fixed
and well debated rules on time controls.

Antichess must have specified and well debated
time controls as now the study of this variant is complete
and well understood.

Increment time controls are most recommended
even under berserk as a player may need a few seconds
on the clock to complete the game.
You can look at this game,
when a player halves his time under berserk,
winning probability is very high for finding the best
move at the end is yet under study.
