I think we decided there's a minimum move time-apparently the more time you

There was a request at the table to do a more software oriented game for a

fast hardware is more of a requirement than a competitive advantage. Meaning if
you can't build reliable hardware that meets move time requirements, then you
can't even play (ie, pass qualifying)
