In Response To: Yet another question on clocks and slow play (John O'Hagan)

Bahamas time control is MUCH too slow for a weekend ABT event but fine for an event like PGM (best tourney EVER) or Monte Carlo or Vegas if all one has to do is to play two (and NOT more than TWO) 17-21 pt matches per day !!

I would be elated to play the best players in the world in matches at the following Bronstein control of 15 sec (so cocked dice don't matter) and 1/2 min per point. But I am an exception ...very mathematically gifted and probably a bit autistic savant in that regard so I can blaze thru a ME estimate if something I haven't committed to memory comes up and honestly if I move within 10 sec of seeing my dice I am playing at 98% of my best game since the 10% of the time I find a better move is almost counter balanced by the times I overthink and screw it up.

Please keep BG fast moving..this game is NOT chess and weekend ABT T's go too slowly.
