David G Congalton Wrote:Any suggestions for using an incremental time control in a one day junior tournament? Or is this just a mad, bad idea?Probably not needed but 20 minutes with 10 seconds per move gives 60 moves in an hour and then 3 moves per minute. I might be concerned that some K+Q v K might go on for a very long time without 10.2 (draw in last two minutes) claims.
