Faster Masters

In Response To: Faster Masters (Victor Ashkenazi)

My opinion doesn't count for much because I'm not sure I'll ever play in a tournament. However, FWIW, I'll say that while the trend towards using clocks is something that I find attractive, and makes me more likely to try playing in a tournament, faster time controls are a turnoff for me.

A possible analogy is classical versus rapid time controls for chess. I don't think that either one is necessarily better or more skilful; they're just different. And my tastes lean towards classical chess and away from rapid.
