You will see 'quality chess', whatever that is exactly. Most programs can play very well at a 30 10 time control. Don't forget, this years G/30 is equivalent to G/60 1.5 years ago (assuming Moores Law). There is nothing special about a time control of G/60 or 40/2hr. These are just time controls that humans like, nothing more nothing less. If quality is so important, perhaps we should play G/300, or G/1000 ?? Of course we don't, because the tournament would take too long. So G/60 or 40/2hr are just trade-offs between the amount of 'quality' and convenience, just as 30 10 is. > >But if it is just for the authors to have fun and chat and whatever as some kind >of social engagement, I don't see anything wrong with that. Thats not the ONLY point of CCT, but its certainly one of the points of it. It is also a competitive event, make no mistake about that we'll all be out for blood!
