In Response To: Clocks (Matt Cohn-Geier)

I'm in favor of using clocks, but I wish people would stop trying to estimate the total length of a match using a Bronstein clock. It can't be done. A one-point game could take over an hour in actuality if most of the moves were made within the 12 second buffer, so no time comes off the clock.

I'm glad to see more people using and in favor of clocks. The hardest part I've had to adjust to is not picking up the dice at the completion of my play, rather hitting the clock button but leaving the dice on the table.
