In Response To: I Totally Support Chiva's New Clock Rule +1 (Henrik Bukkjaer)

"How the h*** can so many people here think it's fair, to have two players take a break, while only one player's clock is running?! "

Maybe because we view this as a practical problem, not a principal one. We want the damn match to finish at some point, and the tournament to progress in a predictable manner. Even if I use my 5 minutes and my opponent doesn't while still benefitting from my break, I should still have adequate time to play at a reasonable level compared to having a few extra minutes of reserve time.

That being said, there could be other solutions as well, but this one is easy to implement, and is actually implemented. In Nordic Open you haven't even gotten to the stage of clocking the whole tournament and that is a far bigger problem imo.

    • Are long breaks taken during a match really a problem?
