In Response To: Clocks in BG software ? (MaX)

I've played a lot of online matches with time controls and that practice has been valuable. Online clocks aren't fully realistic because, among other things, the dice rolling is automatic but there's no doubt that clock awareness develops. When I first started playing timed matches I would frequently time out because of taking tens of seconds over just a few tricky decisions but it's been a long time since I've timed out from taking too long to play. I have lost a couple from typing too much chat. Doh!

I probably wouldn't use clocks in GnuBg myself and wouldn't want the interface to be cluttered by time control widgets if clocks weren't being used but I think it could be useful for some players.
