Game in 22? Is that a new ‘standard’ time control? I have not played tournament chess in many years, but I have heard of G/90 or G/60 or even G/45 (which I believe to be ‘action chess’).
Yep, That was a good year Daaim. We had a good time in the Big apple, Lots of Chess!! I seen Angelo about a year ago. last I heard he was a Principal at a High School. Haven’t been to CSU in a long while. Guess I need to go visit.
