Using a dgt and a Saitek Centurion computer I played a game using the fide new time-control. The "C" was easy to program the time control with sudden death 90 and the Bronstein 30" added after each move. I played horribly me and the computer both couldn't come up with positionally-based ideas. It became a game of attrition which I would lose so quickly to tactics. This month's Chess Life has a feature on the Fide World Championship between V. Ivanchuk and Ponamariov. After my game with the Saitek "C" I see why players complain about the fast Fide time controls. I don't think that Ponamariov is a geniune chess champion. Maybe a blitz world champion if anything. I am going back to 40/2 + SD/1. me. Ljubomir Nelson
