My personal favorite is 10 min 10 sec or 10 min 0 sec, because they give me enough time to think, but that amount so it could get to a low time. What's your favorite time? I was hoping to do a poll on this after a week of collecting data.

P.S  It doesn't matter the seconds time, but mainly the min. time. But if the second time does matter to you please explain in your comments after putting down  your letter. This is mainly min. time.

Thanks,

A. 30 min - 0 sec

B. 15 min - 10 sec

C. 10 min - 10 sec

D. 5 min - 0 sec

E. 1 min - 0 sec

F. Other, explain.

F. OTB I play best (comparatively) at the Rapidplay time control of either 15 or 20 minutes each for all moves (no increments). It's enough time for me to produce half decent play and not enough time for me to worry about my moves.

OTB, 90 minutes each side for game(must have time to seduce the opponent). Online, 20min. each side, game, no increments.

B. 15 minutes, 10 seconds increment.

15 10

25-30min time to think and most of all enjoy the complexities of the game.

B.

OTB - at least 30-45.  Here, at least 15-20

It so depends on why I am playing -- for fun; F.  For intellectual challenge, 60+30.  Somewhere in between; C.

F: 45+45
