To: Hebrews 11:6

Was it all in one day? In Fischer’s day they would seal the move at about the 40th move (so a 136 move game would take 3 or 4 days).

As I recall each player got 2.5 hours, was it? to make 40 moves.

All today: 2 hours each for the first 40 moves, then 1 hour each per each 20 moves, plus 30 seconds added per move after the 60th. They played eight or nine hours, with Game 7 tomorrow. It's for the young.

I suppose, with the advent of chess engines, they can no longer adjourn games.
