So companies and organizations that make claims based upon Action Chess (each side gets 1/2 hour for entire game) or Blitz Chess (each side gets 5 minutes for entire game), are stating numbers that may be easily misconstrued by the consumer. For instance, a computer that plays 2200 at tournament time controls (40 moves in 2 hours or 3 minutes a move) is likely to play 2260 to 2350+ at Action Chess and 2400+ at Blitz Chess. Your Move Chess & Games has always chosen to quote tournament time rating"
