Dorian writes: "Due to its specific character
and difficulty, the subject of time trouble is also poorly reflected
in the chess literature. Usually the known recommendations of how to
avoid the time-trouble seem to have little effect in the practice.
Besides reminding and explaining the already published
elsewhere best recommendations, in my lecture on Thursday, December 11,
I will also give advices based on my own experience. Just like in many
other aspects of chess, to understand the problem (the right diagnosis)
is half of the solution. During the lecture we (me and the audience)
will discuss the reasons of getting into time trouble and figure out
solutions in order to avoid it. Moreover, I'll talk about how to play/think/behave
when you are already in time trouble." |

For the uninitiated: the picture above depicts the most famous time trouble
personality of them all – the White Rabbit in Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

Here's a fine Alice
chess set with time trouble white rabbits as pawns.
