Thoughts ? Yes, negative ! There are players, writing down the time after each move, e4 00.01, e5 00,02, Nf3 00.03 and e.g. Nf6 00.18, what does it say ? (Nf3 "better" or "difficult" to use your words ? No, just a lot of reasons for the 15 seconds )
Having enough time on the clock, and having to exchange bishop-bishop, I can take some time to study the positions, before doing the only possible move, taking that bishop. What does it say ?
Moreover : how often do you meet the same opponent under (his) same circumstances ? ) I am gentle : forget about the idea... ! Reghards !
Completely new here, be gentle.
Since most chess is timed, would it not make sense to measure 'move density?'
The length of time that a player's opponents take to respond to his/her turns is indicative of the complexity of the move, i.e. you take longer to respond to better moves. If you could track the average turn lengths of each opponent, you could assign the player a value for how difficult his moves were.
