Time is money, or are you going to waste it?

Chess clocks are really useful. You can quickly make moves that don't require much thought, which saves you time for more complex moves. However, 4000+500 is too much; it should be less. Although, when I used to play with less time, I sometimes couldn't keep up. But it's okay; after a few games, you can get used to it and move faster. P.S. This is precisely why I play Heroes for 1-2 months and then stop, as it consumes a lot of time.
