 Why do you think 1-min for a whole game is interesting? I played a tournament
 from a rook ending position (rook+7 pawns vs rook+7 pawns from the Lopez
 Exchange). Started off with 5 min 3 sec per player and game - but had to stop
 it because the level of play was too low... Like when Fritz swapped rooks and
 just lost the pawn ending vs Aristarch. Instead I switched to 40/2 which of
 course resulted in much better game quality. There were still errors in the
 endings but the games were at least something worth to analyze.
