In Response To: Clocks (Keene)

You can't use such simple math to determine the clock settings. Why "20 moves per player per game"? In reality there is no limit to the number of moves in a game. Thus there can be no settings that will work if you require that the integrated clock time fit within a time window.

Best is to experiment. Set some reasonable values and record how long matches actually take. Then use these results to tweak the settings.
