In Response To: Clocking (Tom Keith)

When clocks were introduced to chess, I bet there was a LOT of complaining.

Clocks were introduced in the mid-late 1800s, and ha become widely accepted by 1900, so it's been awhile for chess. I've never heard or read anything to the effect that players complained when they were introduced. It's possible, however, that chess history has been painted differently than how it actually happened.
