It takes a small time unless you play the move on the computer before the player does it. I thought that I have no right to do it in the Israeli league. I did not think that it is honest to play the move on the board before the computer played even if I knew the computer move. After the bad experience against shredder when I gave Rebel the wrong move in the opening(I think my opponent changed the direction of the knight in the last second) I was careful to write the move of the opponent before giving it to the computer so it took slightly more time. There were some case when it took me some seconds to discover that the computer moved and this thing will never happen in blitz. I used average 2:45 in the first 40 moves in the Israeli league because Rebel does not suppoert tournament+blitz time control and the time control in the Israeli league was 2 hours/40. average 2:45 says not more than 1:50 for 40 moves. It was clearly enough because usually I did not use more than 5 minutes for 40 moves. Uri
