I was mistaken about the last Aegon time controls in a previous post. Weren't previous ones something like G/30' though? G/120' is the fastest whole game sudden death control which can be used in FIDE rated games. I don't know if the last Aegon control (G/90' + 30" Fischer) is good enough. Here is what the FIDE rules say: "1.1 For a game to be rated each player must have a minimum of two hours in which to complete all the moves, assuming the game lasts 60 moves. Examples of various ways in which this can be achieved follow: a) The rate of play must not exceed 23 moves in one hour at any stage. b) All the moves in two hours. c) 40 moves in two hours, followed by all the moves in 30 minutes. d) All the moves in 100 minutes but each time a player makes a move an additional 30 seconds is added to the clock time." I'm not sure why or if G/90' + 30" Fischer is not good enough. It would seem to be under 1.1. In any case I think if we are going to use FIDE ratings to calculate performances, we should follow FIDE rules as far as what time limits are allowed.
