That is sad. 90 seconds is not 87,5, it is half way between 1 and 2 minutes and stops the "time players" from checking you in the last 5 seconds.

You guys obviously don't play a lot of 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 or 1-1, etc.

Because there will be 10"|1" sooner than 90"|0". Just my opinion.

Tell me what is the crucial difference that makes that your proposition of 90" should be granted and not mine of 87.5". Otherwise, it means that any time control should be allowed.

Seriously, I cannot see it.

87.5  90

Hence, 87.5 should be implemented, but not 90 ?

87.5 is between 120 and 60. Precisely, it's halfway between 85 and 90.

It is "obviously" useless only because you are under the impression that 1/2 is a better fraction than 87.5/120. It is by no way a rational thing.

The whole 87.5s stuff is about making you realize that there will always be gaps to be filled between existing time controls, so why not stop at the minute, but apparently your head is pretty thick.
