Reduced Time Controls at CCA

Or a knowledgeable clock expert could make a list of major capable and incapable clocks.

I’m sure Micah Smith has already done that, but I’m too lazy to try to find the link right now.

And hey, that’s my line.

40/80 increment 30 is a very nice time control. I just recently played in CCA tournament and found it to be an ideal time control. I was never anywhere near time pressure and historically I have been a slow player.

Give it a try!

A different question: How effectively do most of us use our time anyway?

What was the secondary time control? That matters! As to your second question, don’t get me started!

40/80, SD/30, +30. The original quoted ad had a typo. This looks like the standard CCA “long” time control now.
