The faster the time control, the worse the game -- (assuming the same opponents, in general). I hate lightning chess. I don't like blitz chess. I like the slowest time controls best of all (up to a point -- I can't wait ten years for a game to complete). I would like to see Deep Blue verses Kasparov at one day per move. At that scale, Deep Blue would see so far ahead, it would start to see things strategically. 256 million positions per second times 86,400 seconds would be 2.2e13 positions examined. Now that would be an awesome game. To my way of thinking, quality of chess is a product of ability of the opponents multiplied by the time taken per move. By the time you get to 40/2, with excellent players the chess will be excellent. [snip]
