SNCL

Andy M - adjudication, really?!?! I'm astonished that a strong and experienced player would propose such an unsatisfactory and downright unfair way of deciding the result of a game.

Generally speaking I'm a fan of increments, and I trust the organisers to come up with a time control which will see most games end in decent time, with only a tiny fraction likely to run close to the starting time of the second game. It's a fact of chess that whenever you have two games in a day, players involved in a long first game are likely to feel some fatigue going into the next one. Sometimes it will be you; other times it will be your opponents, and we all just have to deal with it as best we can.

I agree that there should be a certain minimum guaranteed break between games, even if it's (for example) as little as 15 minutes to allow players involved in a marathon game to visit the loo and grab a snack/coffee before the next game. Hopefully, the starting times of afternoon games will only have to be postponed in rare and extreme cases.
