What is the time control for chess in chess tournaments? How long do you have between chess moves? There is a standard time control for chess in tournaments<\/a>, but there is no time limit for a single move. You just have to plan well so that all your moves fit into the time given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All FIDE events have a standard time control for their chess tournaments. Each player gets 90 minutes to make all their moves (40 moves in all). Then they are also given an extra thirty minutes to complete the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
90 minutes is the standard for a game of chess. But sometimes exceptions are granted to players, and there are World Championships that have lasted for 120 minutes for 40 moves. There are also games that lasted 60 minutes for 20 moves, with another 15 minutes to end the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
