In Response To: 10 Arguments Against Clocks (Chuck Bower)

There is a compensating factor which doesn't occur as frequently, but when it does the impact can be large: later in the tournament you'll play better because you've gotten more rest.

Then in tournaments that don't require clocks, it's really unfair for people to voluntarily play with clocks and then get more rest. We should make things equal and just ban all clocks all the time.
