I set the 60 0 limit (and 30 30 as well) to avoid a few "wiseguys" that have nothing better to do that attempt to aggravate. IE I have seen Crafty matched in a 180 180 game, and then the opponent makes one or two moves and just sits, tying it up for 3 hours for nothing. If you'd like to play "Crafty" on ICC, feel free to ask via message there and I'll set it up... 60 10 is fine, as is most any other time control you'd like. The 60 0 limit is arbitrarily short enough to prevent long periods of nothing when I know that a GM or IM will rarely want a time control that long or longer... > >Thanks in advance. > >Regards, >Martin
