Nel gioco degli scacchi agonistici, ma anche in quelli amatoriali, è diventato sempre più importante l’uso dell’orologio, sopratutto per evitare speculazioni dovute alla diversa disponibilità di tempo dei due giocatori.
Maxime Vachier-Lagrave drew his game with Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, but it wasn't for a lack of effort on Mamedyarov's part! Just kidding: the game barely lasted five minutes and repeated a draw that has been used at least seven times since it first showed up last December.
