More about time control

Lauren here:
In some tournaments, the time controls forces the game to flow. For example,
There could be a time control that says 30/60. This means that you must complete at least 30 moves in 60 minutes. Otherwise, you will loose on time. After you complete 30 moves in less than 60 minutes, there will probably be a sudden death control, such as game/30. This means that for the rest of the game, you have 30 minutes.

One additional comment about time control. If you have less than 5 minutes on your time, recording your moves is optional. I suggest to stop recording your moves at the 5 min. time limit.
