There was an argument recently at the club about how long our "serious" games should be. What time control do you prefer?

 		Some here are probably wondering if we have enough time to hold rated games longer than 2 hours. The answer is yes. I would have to start the games before 7:30 pm though, so I would need a commitment from lets say more than six players to do that.

It's certainly possible that our typical game could be 90 minutes SD but have just an occassional long game just to remember what it feels like...

Its all up to you guys.
