Hmmm, hard to say. Definatly give a GM a good game im sure, though he's not facing that kind of competition here (well, not as far as i know anyway 😉)

Originally posted by Beanie16The time keeps getting changed. It was twenty move in two hours. It may still be fourty moves in two hours, twenty moves in a hour, then a hour to finish the game. You cannot have a weekend tournament and have thirty players show and play by such a time control. I guess such a tournament would play the game in thirty mins. . The Fischer clock seems like a good idea. Start the game with thirty mins. and add thirty secs. per move with result in about a hour for both players. A seventy five move game will give the players over a hour. I do not like the old time. A time pressure losing move a move thirty eight seems a bit unfair. The most popular time for internet players is ten mins. and a min. The min. game is played by players that trying to avoid chess programs.

Just looked at his rating and he is now officially the first RHP member to reach the 2300 mark. Way to go, IronMan! Your games are by far the most fun to watch on here! You're halfway to 4600, get going! 😉
