The average time per move for the first forty and for the first sixty moves is exactly three minutes, so it is a standard time control. Now for the Aegon tournament: Initial time: 90 minutes Increment after every move: 30 seconds. Now, I am not a grandmaster or anything close; but I am experienced with many different time controls and I can tell you that the 50 minutes after move 40 given in the WC and not in Aegon make a big difference.
