Computer 40/1 and GAME/1 hour, with a 10 sec. increment. Since computer programs run on faster and faster hardware each year, there really is no "fair" time limit for them. Allowing 200 minutes for 40 moves gives grandmasters the chance to play their best. Even the old-style FIDE world championship matches only allowed 150 minutes for 40 moves to each player. Which raises the question: what was the last WCC Match with a time limit of at least 4.5 minutes per move? - David
