First OTB Team Tournament of the year

Two hours is not that long... When my OTB game (with standard time control) takes less than two hours, it feels like a short one. But you didn't mention the time control, of course.

@mkubecek the format is 45+30 but when I finished my game, everyone from our team finished their game already. I think they finished at 30 or 45 minutes.

For a 45+30 game, two hours is indeed quite long. I'm often also the last one playing in team events; this Sunday in a regional team league I met an opponent who was even slower than me and we only had 15 moves played when all other boards were finished; the game (2 hours for 40 moves) had 32 moves and took almost 4 hours, my opponent had a bit over a minute left and I had a bit less than six minutes.

In my match, when everyone finished I think we played only 20 moves. Match ended with 56 moves. When the match finished, I had 35 minutes and he had 13 minutes.
