Double :-) I was getting confused here for a sec because I have heard people say play games win 30min time setting, that could mean 30 min total time, which is 15mins for each player, or it could also mean a 30min time setting for each player making it a hour game. So when I hear 40/2hr, I have seen it also referred to as 40 moves by each side in 1hr, Thus a total time of 2 hrs, with each side making 40 moves for there own hour. So therefor it could also read 80/2hr total. Am I confusing you yet :-) But you are saying that each player has 40 moves to make in 2hrs. Which what sounds like a 2hr game is really a 4hr game if 40moves were made for each side. so in total 80 moves will take 4hrs, 40 moves takes 2hrs, with only each side making 20 moves an hour. Have I confused you more yet :-)
