Bullet premove credibility

Premoves by humans are accepted as genuine at the rate of over 120 moves in 1 min (each player). Since most speed games are decided within 30-40 moves/each, why not establish yet another blazing time control, perhaps G/10 secs. Has anyone actually witnessed an unassisted human making 120-150 moves in less than a minute? Chats mention that 'talented' players can do so and that it's not that unusual. Pre-moves must be happening through precognition..

I love that idea!  G/10 secs would be so awesome.  I think that maybe another cool time control would be G/10 spm, (Seconds Per Move.)  The timer would reset to ten seconds after every move!  I think that BOTH variations would be awesome!

10 seconds per game would always be lost on time, and completely pointless. You can't premove if your opponent plays that quickly too.

Yeah I was thinking that too.  I still like the G/10 spm though!

Really? Do any of the games finish?

Are you sure you don't mean the 10 second with 1 second increment which is a lot different.

i mean with the 1 sec increment..

Avatar of Scottrf

Oh yeah that's fine because some people can live in the increment, I was talking without increment.

ooh ok. anyways there's no sense in it, theres no thinking only moving your pieces.

OK folks, I was being sarcastic. I'm saying I don't believe unassisted [humans] are moving at the rate of 120-150 moves [each] within a total time of [1 min. per player (no increment)]; I would have to witness it firsthand. If it's happening honestly, then G/20 secs would be a realistic time control to complete 30-40 moves, in which most games are decided.
