In Response To: "If it (the clock) ain't broke, don't fix it" (TarHeelFan)

i am agreeable to any reasonable time control with "arugh" a very short delay touch move should also be a rule these two changes would have amazing results Thank you for at least agreeing the current time limits are horse manure

Alas i have found agreement with my suggestions too & Neil made a comment re my suggestions that sums it up; essentially he stated : " that most dont really understand the use of the clock"

re timing out at chess it happens ( just not to you) at the recent world candidate tourney 1 IM flagged 4x & yes I would argue that the current chess time controls are too long & should be lessened Although chess may be at an all time high!

i think we also agree the rules of BG need some changes & I appreciate you intelligent feedback
