How did we get from increments to thermo nuclear war in an afternoon?
If you have a 10am sharp start time, then
1) A 30 move game would end at 1.30pm at the very latest.
2) A 60 move game would end at 2.00pm at the very latest. (this is when all games should have finished assuming the start was on time last season).
3) A 90 move game would end at 2.30pm at the very latest. How many of them were there last year in reality?
4) A 120 move game would end at 3.00pm at the very latest. How many of them were there last year in reality?
If 90 move games are going to be the norm, then bring forward the start to 9.30am.
Are we back on topic now?
