In Response To: More drama! (Henrik Bukkjaer)

Furthermore, you have a time aspect to consider. You cannot play best of 3 to 11 or best of 5 to 7, instead of one 25 pointer! In your original post you mentioned 5 or 7 points. Now in your last post you go for 7, 9 and 11 points... There's a BIG difference between 5 and 11 points!

Read more carefully, please.

In my original post it says:
1. "best of 3" 7pt/9pt/11pt format, or
2. "best of 5" 5pt/7pt format.

If I'm not misinformed, current time controls in MC are 15 seconds per move and 2,5 minutes per point (15/2,5). That's very generous (read: slow).
Yesterday's match lasted for five hours. (including breaks)

If they put what is currently considered 'normal' time controls, 12/2, together with best of X format, I don't think matches would take much much longer than current MC matches.
