      The time control is 3+0. We used to play 5+0 which gave time to wait a minute for new material to attack or defend. Sometimes both boards sat, checking which team had more time. If both kings have been opened it's important to get the flow of pieces while you're the one checking. I imagine at this time control you can't attack (such as sac a piece on f7) until after you get pieces which will make it a more conservative, less wild, game. Could someone who has played at this time control share their experience of it.

            I think the Marc, the organizer, is not on CT. Let me ask him for the results, and I will post them here.

            GM Awonder Liang and Janak Awatramani won the team event on Saturday. I think Janak Awatramani won the event with random teammates.

              I think that those who post events on CT should be required to post results. Hopefully, you will still get them.
              Thanks!
