I didn't see the press conferences but based on the
chess.com article Karjakin criticized the tiebreak rule (I think most would agree) and also the time control ("
First I'd like to mention that this is a stupid time control").
He had 13 seconds to make 6 moves until the first time control. Aronian was also in time trouble against Anand. What would be the ideal time control for classical? Increment from move 1?
The time control being used is this:
120 minutes for the first 40 moves
60 minutes added for the next 20 moves
15 minutes + 30 second increment per move starting from move 61
