Fine of 5% of what he wins? Pah!

Make it Knight odds for the next game....

Is there a required amount of time he must wait?

The clock and the press seem to be big factors at this level. Success probably depends on a "confrontational" personality. Does that mean these are the best chess players? Would the results be different if the tournament was held on RHP with the usual 3/7 time restraints? Wouldn't Chess itself become the biggest factor, then?

Nah, if it was like here the biggest factor would be how good your computer and computer program is.

An exciting game, not least for the mistakes.
