IE which would you rather play, 15 0 or 2 12? if a game lasts 60 moves, 15 0 gives you 15 seconds a move and at move 60 you are out of time. You probably move much faster the last half as time is winding down. At 2 12, you average 15 seconds a move forever almost, and _never_ have to worry about time.
