I was asked by a few people why we had to change the time control to 40 moves. (Personally I preferred the 30 moves)

I refer to the FIDE handbook and the section on FIDE Rating Regulations

Quote:1.
Rate of Play


1.1
For a game to be rated, each player must have the following minimum periods in which to complete all the moves, assuming the game lasts 60 moves.
Where at least one of the players in the tournament has a rating 2200 or higher, each player must have a minimum of 120 minutes.
Where at least one of the players in the tournament has a rating 1600 or higher, each player must have a minimum of 90 minutes.
Where all the players in the tournament are rated below 1600, each player must have a minimum of 60 minutes.


1.2
Games played with all the moves at a rate faster than the above are excluded from the list.


1.3
Where a certain number of moves is specified in the first time control, it shall be 40 moves.
