I am playing Northumberland  purely to play some chess. At the moment I am very inactive and in danger of forgetting how the pieces move. It is an individual tournament so I don't have team mates to consider if I want to sulk.

Glorney training will not involve clock control.

Sorry Andy but clock control is very important.  Several people who have accompanied juniors on foreign trips have commented that games were even until players were living on the increment when experience of that showed in the opposition play.

That is another reason for moving to increments - we don't want to disadvantage our junior teams.  As a great pusher of improving junior chess you should therefore be supporting incremental tournaments for the experience needed by our juniors.
