The last two tournaments were 40/2 SD 1 and G/75. I like a longer time control for serious chess, but sometimes there just isn't time to play a whole weekend of chess at a long time control, so I have to either play quick-rated or squeeze in 3 or 4 games at a longer control, leaving me exhausted at the end of the day.

 What are some favorite time controls you have used?

I find that G/60 is a good compromise that allows a reasonable amount of calculation time.
