Originally posted by michael liddleI played the last 30 moves with 30 seconds on my clock, at that point in the game we were both simply moving as fast as possible as we were each in danger of timeout, which only emphasises my point. Half of a game is interesting and fun, the other half is just racing against the clock. If you reach an ending, you never get to play it out properly. 🙁
