Game Types

The following is my decision tree for determining game type:

ANALYSIS (Not actually played)
UNORTHODOX (Odds games or Fischer Random set-ups)
CORRESPONDENCE (Postal, Telegraph, etc.)
BLINDFOLD (Either side played sans voir)
EXHIBITION (Simuls or Living Chess)
ARMAGEDDON (Black wins on a draw, White has more time)
BLITZ (Base_Time+60*Increment_Time <= 10 minutes)
QUICK (G/10 to G/29 with delays)
RAPID (10 minutes < Base_Time+60*Increment_Time < 60 minutes)
CLASSICAL (60 minutes or more per side; tournament and match level games)
OTHER
