A time control suggestion

Avatar of chessBBQ

I dont know where to suggest things to the staff so ill just make a forum topic.

What i suggest is a time control that will limit the amount of moves in a particular time because i want to simulate OTB experience.Particular in my interest is the standard 40 moves in 90 minutes and the rest  of the moves should be played in 30 minutes with 30 second increment.

How do i actually add friends here?

I was thinking if my suggestion is not possible i will just play 2 hours +30 sec increment.That will closely simulate a Fide time control i think.So my problem now is to find people who are interested in playing this time control

30 second increments? Have Bur-Oak or chessBBQ actually played any games with such an excessively long increment? 2 hrs and 30 second increment is ridiculous IMHO! What tnmt anywhere has ever used such a TL?

Bur_oak doesn't play with increments. Time passes. I'm used to it. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes bad. Such is life.

Thats not a bad idea my kabayan but the problem there is otb is very much still different from online game coz you will not see how your opponent react to your moves "the psychological stuff" that enables players to blunder. (if you know what i mean).

Bur-Oak I thought you were endorsing the idea, but apparently I wuz rong agin...I should've figured out you weren't since you said you missed analog clocks

I can see where the first part can be misinterpreted. I probably should have used question marks instead of exclamation points.
