I don't understand the logic, why should the human player get increments when
Playing g/30. If computer are now stronger then the human GM's at G/30, its time
for the Grandmaster to agree to play at standard time controls. It has been
clear for some time now that only a very few and best grandmasters can play the
best micro computer programs at fast time controls such as G/30 and below and
have any hope of winning a match.

Again nice job Ferret and Bruce, and its time for the Grandmaster to play "real
chess"
