I don't understand. You think 4 minutes for a turn and only 2 minutes for battles? :confused: Are you serious??? Even the simplest battle takes about 30 seconds. Will you only have 4 simple battles?
It would probably be more accurate to say 4 minutes for a turn and 6 minutes for battles, totaling 10 minutes, which means at least 10 hours for a game. And there are people who count every single tile, and there are just slowpokes like me... And the time will be even longer... We'll be playing 1 game day in an hour.
There's still time before the tournament starts. I advise everyone to practice with different time controls to understand what works best and is faster. I repeat, real-time is crucial here!
And one more thing. Those who haven't found a partner can sign up individually. During the draw, we'll randomly pair you up. :smile01:
I suggest you reread the post!!!
What do you disagree with? 15-20 minutes is just enough time to think about your next move and do something else. If everyone thinks about their move while their opponents are moving, there will be no delays.
Or do you think that a +400 time control will give you a time advantage??? No way. Consider 400x3 = 1200 / 60 = 20 minutes. Your opponents will definitely be moving for 100%! + Let's add another 100 seconds as a margin for the last battle, and we get 25 minutes for 3 players to move!
Here, we calculate 4 minutes of pure time + let's say 6 minutes as a margin for battles. We get the same 25-30 minutes, but without stress in the worst-case scenario.
Draw your own conclusions.
Since you don't understand it yourself, don't mislead others!
3 players at 10 minutes each = 30 minutes of waiting (40 minutes for 4 players). Up to 131. That's 9 hours in the worst case. It's quite possible to play in two sessions! With a 1000+400 time control, it's roughly the same! Don't talk nonsense. If a move can be made faster than 400 seconds, it will be made that way. And slowpokes like you, who count every single tile, are rare.
P.S. If you enjoy a game where you can't make 70% of your move because of a lack of time, you're a masochist.
