In Response To: Speed Backgammon Time Controls (Chiva Tafazzoli)

Assuming normal cocked dice rules, I MUCH prefer 10 sec delay to 12 sec for speed gammon since many moves can be made instantly and only by using 6 to 8 seconds of delay time. 10 seconds allows one to think a little bit and to see the whole board. I can even cock the dice once and move within 10 seconds if I roll an automatic to play roll. I suspect some of our youth is faster than I.
