Tuesday, 08 June 2010 10:02

The Presidential Board decided in Bursa to extend the validity for the official use of the time control 90 minutes with 30 seconds cumulative increment for each move starting from the first move, from July 1st 2010 to 1st January 2011.  This followed representations to the Board and was made to enable the General Assembly in Khanty-Mansiysk to take a final decision on FIDE time controls.  It was agreed that no further changes after Khanty-Mansiysk should be allowed for four years.
