CCT 12 - Discussion about dates and time control

[bob]

The dates sound fine. I am fairly open on TC's. Something that adds to one hour per side is good. That gives a range of options from
G/59+1 to G/45+15. The traditional G/50+3 is fine with me.

Wow, 4am for California, but what can you do?

Yes 60 1 is good idea.
all those weird time controls always with broken times.
justm ake it 1 hour and if needed 1 second increment for
engines not so well tuned to not forfeit.

In itself 60 0 is fine with me also.

I like some increment, but a small one. +15 makes round starting times problematic since a game can really last beyond 2 hours easily. 45 3 has worked, 60 1 is also ok.

Time control is 50 + 3.

hi Peter,

I see you want to organize it at FICS at your homepage.

However i logged in before the weekend in FICS and had forgotten password of diep account there. So diep account has been locked. Messaged 'computers' and spoke to admins. I get responses as: "have some weeks patience".

Is it a good idea to host a tournament in FICS knowing that you don't get anything done there from admins and they just don't move at all?

Every day i reasked, shipped new messages, nothing happens there simply.

That is why the registration page states that I will handle the registration of accounts on FICS.

I am on the FICS server now and will take care of your issue.

Peter

Thanks!
