In Response To: CLOCKtroversy 1 (Coolrey)

In spite of the need to close at 10 PM which also allows the working class to drive home and get a fair night's sleep, I strongly advise Pat to switch to the more fair Bronstein clock setup. If 12sec+ 10 min for a 5 pt match is too slow. Then make it 12sec+8 min or even 7 min.

As for the incident, the proper thing to do, IMHO, is to add the 2.5 to 3 min back to Norm's clock and continue. Then the fact that in the commotion due to a spilt drink, Norm didn't hit his clock, becomes irrelevent.

As far as not shaking the dice in time trouble. This sb unacceptable and a quick fast and hard up/down once shake and roll vigorously as I sometimes do is OK, IMHO, as the dice are certainly random when they come to rest.

Non Bronstein time controls need to be loaded into a Ford Edsel and driven to the dump, IMHO. Non Bronstein TC's lead to poor or non shaking as time is running down, whereas with Bronstein controls, 12 sec is adequate for shaking, although if you cock once, you will be rushed.

Just my opinion .. neilkaz ..
