Hi Bob, I wrote a little program to look at the time distributions by move number of using 1/30 vs 1/25. Based on this, I think 1/25 does make more sense, especially with move predictions and such. This chart assumes the Dutch time control of game in 90 minutes. Surprising to me is that at move 40, there is only a small difference in the two numbers. -- Don MOVE 1/30 1/25 ---- ------ ------ 1 180.0 216.0 2 174.0 207.4 3 168.2 199.1 4 162.6 191.1 5 157.2 183.5 10 132.7 149.6 15 112.0 122.0 20 94.5 99.5 25 79.8 81.1 30 67.3 66.1 35 56.8 53.9 40 48.0 44.0 45 40.5 35.8 50 34.2 29.2 55 28.9 23.8 60 24.4 19.4 65 20.6 15.8 70 17.4 12.9 75 14.6 10.5 80 12.4 8.6 85 10.4 7.0 90 8.8 5.7 95 7.4 4.7 100 6.3 3.8
