Time Trouble
and in the last minute, or sometimes
even seconds, just one mistake or a little
delay, fades away the job of 5 hours
V. Panov.
The problem and causes of time trouble
is a wide matter and has been treated in
several books with different standards
of deepness. For instance those of
Krogius, Nunn and Dvoretsky, among
others.
The objective of our article is just trying
to help those players (or trainers) who
suffer the illness of zeitnot and its
adverse consequences in his or her
results, confidence, and direct affection
of nervous system.
At first, let us define what we can
consider as time trouble. GM Krogius,
in his excellent book Psychology in
Chess, he points that when a player has
less than one minute per move to be
made, he is in zeitnot. This opinion is
also shared by British GM John Nunn in
his Secrets of Practical Chess.
Even when both Krogius and Nunn
were talking about different time
controls that are applied today, I think
that their formula of 1 minute per move,
even with the increment of the current
30 seconds, may be considered as
adequate nowadays. Of course there is a
strong dependence of the type of
position. In a complicated one most of
the players should need more time to
find the right move. However, with 1
minute and a half per move, we would
be able to make a reasonable move in
most of the positions.
Krogius believes that the objective
causes of time trouble are the following:
- Lack of theoretical preparation in the
Opening.
- Lack of practical preparation.
