Thank you very much.
I think the writer was discussing from the "player's point of view",
but not from GO's view.
For the game of GO, if the time-system is fair and
can avoid Sudden-Death naturally, that's enough.
The writer's conclusion is "Keep it Simple!",
Simplicity is a big reason to prefer Fischer timing to byo yomi and to
Canadian overtime. You start with an initial allocation, and then every
move you make, regardless of the circumstances, you get the same
increment. The snag with Fischer timing is that you need a special
clock to do it - but if you're using a computer anyway, this shouldn't
be a problem.
but the Fischer timing's action is not simple to understand.
Can someone explain me why a player receives times after played a move
even when he doesn't lack of time ?
A player receives time whether or not he lacks it. This is simple, and
IMHO better than a system that preferentially assigns time to the player
who has squandered what he had.

If it's ok, instead of receiving times, I prefer receiving money. :-)
