I hadn't heard this. If you have any reference or historical material on >this, please let me know. I remember that I read about one player with the name staunton who used a lot of time to think when people did not use clocks to play and his opponents were angry about it. I think that it was more than 100 years ago. I also know that the time control in some tournament that I played more than 10 years ago were 2 hours/40+1 hour/20+1 hour/20 and that there were adjourned games. I remember that I analyzed my last adjourned game with psionchess and my opponent who did not analyze the game fell into a tactical trap that I prepared with the computer. I do not know about tournaments with adjourned games now. <snipped> >Yes, this WAS true (at least truer). But anymore, the games tend to be G5+5 or >somesuch, not G5. So, again, the slower player is rewarded.

I remember one case some years ago that Junior came last place in 5+0 time control because Junior was operated manually and the players insisted that it is going to play the moves in the board so it lost on time most of the games. Next year they played 5+5 time control becuase they wanted to let the computer play without losing on time and this was the only 5+5 time control tournament that I know about. I played only in one fisher time control tournament in the last few years Uri
