I would like to know the Basic Rules on Time Controls.


Can you learn to cross-post rather than posting the same identical
message on four different usenet groups?

G/30, G/45, and G/60 are all popular. Each side has 30/45/60 minutes to
play all their moves.

1. Max time each player can take for a single move.


As much or as little as they like.

4. Is it neccesary to have each tournament game played withing the Time Control


Absolutely, or you immediately lose.

5. Can we postpone a Chess game to be played another day (Say Someone
have a headache etc.)


It depends on the particular tournament. Some allow you to skip one or
more games, some do not.

What are the differences in Time Controls for these game.


The USCF recognizes Regular and Quick games. Regular games are G/30 or
longer. Quick games are G/10 to G/29.

Beginner Level: 5-10 seconds {makes 40 moves in 7 minutes}
Easy Level: 30-50 seconds {makes 40 moves in 35 minutes}
Normal Level 1-2 Minutes {makes 40 moves in 1.5 hours }
Master Level: 2-4 Minutes. {makes 40 moves in 2 hours}


If you made your program UCI or Winboard compatible it could
participate in computer chess tournaments. Unfortunately your program
rarely meets time controls, even on a 3 GHz P4 with 512 MB of RAM.
