I disagree. I think Bronstein is the best time control system. Players have fixed time per move, plus a pool time that can be used at the moves you want. > I believe the most logical time control for games in general is what is > known as the Fischer clock.

I don't like Fischer time control because it adds time to the total time remaining. This way players can play stupid sente moves only to get nearly as time as you want. For example, in chess a player can make 50 checks (without repetition) and get 10 extra minutes, then continue the "true" game. This also happens in Go, where sometimes a player has nearly infinite kou threads.
