If you have any reference or historical material on >this, please let me know. > The match Lasker-Capablanca was played with a time control of 30 moves in two hours followed by 15 moves for each next hour, with lots of adjournments. Before that even slower time controls were used (and some players got in time trouble!). The match Capablanca-Alekhine was played at 40 moves in 2.5 hours, followed by 16 moves for each next hour, the playing sessions were five hours long. This time control was used for world championships and top level tournaments until the mid-eighties. 40 moves in 135 minutes followed by 18 moves per hour was used in one Kasparov-Karpov match (I do not remember which one). Karpov-Kamsky was played at 40 moves in two hours followed by 16 moves per hour, with six hours playing sessions (it is highly unusual that the secondary time controls were slower than the primary time control).
