Ideas About Time Management


I don't like equating time managment with "having more time". A player should know how much time he needs to finish the game, not have to concentrate on always having more time than his opponent.
I've heard from people on this forum who have actually expirienced this method of "settling" draws in scholastic tournaments, and they didn't seem to be happy about it.
What you need to understand is that draws aren't neccessarily bad, they're an integral part of chess.
