There's a one hour break in the B schedule, for no good reason IMO. Many games will end earlier than 90 moves giving the operators plenty of time to take a break. I would suggest cancelling the break, postponing start time by half an hour for the sake of the west coast (non) early risers, and using the remaining half hour to extend games to 45+10. This gives a schedule of: GMT 1530 1st round GMT 1740 2nd round GMT 1950 3rd round GMT 2200 4th round Any game ending in say 40 moves would give the operators almost an hour free, so it's far from hectic. I propose this as schedule E. Amir
