The high level tournaments

The same goes for punching ther clock.
There should be no more of it. The chess
set, including the chess clock, should
record time by itself. And one should not
have to claim winning on time. A player
who has exceeded his/her time limit should
lose automatically (except when no checkmate
is possible).

In short, chess players should just play chess.
Everything else is at the best the necessary eveil
which should be reduced to bare minimum, as much
as possible.
