In Response To: Clock Experiment (Dale Kerr)

Thanks.

I don't have time to reread my own article right now but I thought I had a warning about my derived average free time/move value and that was based on the fact that since there is a ceiling (12 s) imposed, the average MUST end up less than 12 s (well, maybe not for UBK :). Therefore concluding that less free time/move would have little effect is a dangerous extrapolation.

Another issue is that (most) players will make a conscious attempt to avoid forfeiture. Just because I, you, or anyone can succeed reaching this goal with small time settings doesn't mean {I, you, she, he} is comfortable doing it.
