OTB Time Control Based on Rating
  • unique at 2013-11-19

    1. 1 minute per 100 of your foe's rating points
    2. 1 second increment etc…
    3. 1&2

    That's not a time control, that's a handicapping scheme.

    We use a handicapping system like that in a yearly internal teams (of 4) tournament. Depending on the league the teams come from time limits can differ from 30:30 minutes to 48:12 minutes. On top of that the highest two leagues only send 1/2 players, so they play 4/2 boards simultaneously. Still the lower league teams tend not to have a chance! :-)
