Sometimes its indeed ashame that a game ends. I just would like to see how it wouldve gone if we had another 10 mins or so. Well, next time a longer time contol and youll have the same interesting games again.

me too.. losing or winning on time feels only 60% as good as a mate.

Maybe most real WAR are won on time....

Closing up a position in a way that there are no pawn breaks available with the intention of winning on time is the most annoying thing ever. It's also surprisingly effective, at least twice I've gotten frustrated with those kinds of positions and just blundered a piece trying to get things rolling.

totally agree.  Most of my live games play out in under 5 minutes per side but I always play a minimum 15 min. game.  Lets face it, truely elegant games are a rarity.  Depending on how you play; open, closed, passive, aggressive etc. . most games seem to have a feel of repitition.  But on those rare days when you are in a game where symetry and grace combine and you can just feel the beauty of the game... to lose on time is an atrocity
