In a normal (human-human) game I always use all of my time ( 2 hour/40 moves) but when I play against a computer, this could be either a dedicated or a program on a pc etc. I have a hard time to even use half of my time. Only method to play against a computer I have found is to play with a real board, here I use my time as in a normal game. Since I have a DGT board I use this (with a DGT-clock), even when I play on ICC (of course not the blitz/bullet games). I guess you could do with a normal chessboard too, but you will miss the clock. This shouldn't effect your thinking, so I guess (at least for me) it's a psykologic thing. Odd Gunnar
