I accept that some people might be interested in the pursuit of "truth". Nevertheless, this "truth" in 120/40 is quite relative. As correspondence players often point, standard chess does not allocate enough time to find the true ressources of chess positions, and they see standard chess as insufficient. But this is not the main reason why I favor shorter time controls. As a 1800 amateur I find chess much more pleasurable to watch live if I don't have to wait half an hour for a move. It is really this simple, I enjoy much more to watch shorter chess games, "truth" or "falsehood" notwhitstanding. This phaenomenom of watching chess games live is quite new, and is possible thanks to internet. If I had not the possibility of watching them live I probably would favor slower time controls, and for that matter, why not making correspondance chess replace standard chess (this last statement is only half serious) Alvaro
