See Wikipedia's article on <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_control>Time control</a>: <br><br> <i>In tournament chess the most common time controls for professionals are at 40/2, SD/1 time controls, which means that the first 40 moves must be made in two hours and then all remaining moves be made in an hour. Any extra time from the original two hours carries over to the sudden death time.</i>
