Games are assumed to be 60 moves just for this classification. Thanks for your reply. My original question was coming from some posters reply that considered the new FIDE timing for tournaments as "rapid chess". If I understood well the new timings (40 moves in 75 minutes, rest of the moves in 15 minutes, each move additional 30 seconds) this should allow a player to have for a game of 40 moves 1 hour 35 minutes ,for a game of 50 moves 1 hour 55 minutes , for a game of 60 moves 2 hours , for a game of 80 moves 2 hour 10 minutes , for a game of 100 moves 2 hour 20 minutes. I truly can't see a "rapid" pace in this kind of timings. Regards
