To me this is a very important issue. But I suggest a
different solution. In Go! (japanese chess:) there is a
certain thing called Byo-Yomi. You have a certain time in
the beginning which you use up (it should be adjustable in
the "open game"-section). Once this is down to zero, BY
rounds start, that have a certain period (I'd suggest 30-45
as standart, but also adjustable). Once this is down to
zero, i goes up to max. again taking one of your lives
(which could be adjusted or simply set to 3). Once you have
no lives left, you die.
I really like this version, because if you stick to it,
there can be no loss b/c of time, but you still achive fast
gameplay. Check out kgs.kiseide.com if youre interested in
go - there are lots of paralels :)
