By this logic the difference between game/120 and game/60 is also not significant. I do not agree about it. Humans can imagine the time control is 30 minutes/40+20 minutes/40+10 minutes/game so they will not be in game/5 in most of the cases and when they will be in game/5 it is going to be a simple endgame in most of the cases. I except professional players to take responsible decision and not to go to serious time trouble(the only exception is in a bad position when they look for a saving move). Uri
