The gift is 0.75 seconds as it turns out. And I really hate the Bronstein clock compared to the Fischer, but it's not so bad if the delay is pretty small. For instance a 1 second delay in chess would easily cover the "administrative cost" of making a move, in other words the physical process time of moving the piece, punching your clock, etc. But a Fischer clock is way more logical in my opinion. You get the time increment added to your clock for each move and you don't get penalized for moving quickly like you do with Bronstein. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
