Should the last part be +1 minute per >move instead of + 1 minute per game? I meant +1 minute per game and the idea was to demonstrate the absurd in the time management of chess programs. If I know that I have 2 hours for the first 40 moves and 1 minute for the rest of the game then I am not going to use the full 2 hours for the first 40 moves. A lot of programs are going to use almost the full 2 hours. Uri
