As I have mentioned before, many points of this match were "agreed upon" before the development team was ever actually contacted. One of them was the time control of 30 moves in 60 minutes. This, of course, was done by people who did not realize (or remember) that ICC does not support a moves/minutes time control. We contacted Danny Sleator (the head(?) of ICC) and he suggested 2+120. We contacted Larry and asked him if this was a reasonable substitute and he said yes. jm
