how much time do you have per move at a tournament?

can someone tell me how much time you have per move at a standard tournament that takes 6 hours? I think thats 2 hours for move 40 then one hour sudden death.

I wanted to analyze this to know more about preparation, and training time controls.

Haven't you played in many rated over the board tournaments? Were they all the same?

Nowadays all FIDE tournaments are with increment.
Popular is 90|30, but grandmaster tournaments are slower.
1.1.3. Each player must have at least two hours in which to complete all the moves, assuming the game lasts 60 moves.

For the ongoing Norway Chess:
"Each player will have 120 minutes on the clock with an increment of 10 seconds after move 40."

Interesting. I guess I will figure this out on my own, I was hoping someone knew the answer.

For first 40 moves that's 3.5 minutes per move, I dont know for how many next moves you need some spare time to think for more than 30s, if that's 20 then for those 20 moves you have 150s pm

It depends on the tournament.
Each tournament organiser can set his own time control within the stated limits.

How did you get to be an FM and not know how tournament time controls work?

thanks for clarifying the 3.5 minutes for the first 40 moves.

Thats pretty interesting. it means that if you play the opening relatively fast. I would say the first 12 moves then you have a bit more time per move in the tournament. pretty neat. thanks for clarifying that.

Maybe someone guessed his password?

Really weird questions for any experienced player to ask. Even more weird when it's a titled player.

Since his profile says he's a coach, it means people are giving him money because they believe he knows some things about chess... maybe something worth looking into...
