-Each player has a clock that ticks down while it's their turn. -When the clock runs out, they forfeit the game. -Each time a player takes a move, they get some time back on the clock, but there's a limit to how -much time you can accumulate. - -

No time control -: -For friendly games without an enforced pace. - -
-Live / Blitz (7+ moves per day) -: -24h +4h/move up to 72h -; - -
-Fast (3+ moves per day) -: -72h +12h/move up to 120h -; - -

-When playing live, let your opponents know if you're going away! -If you need to resume a live game another day, schedule a time when you can continue. - -

-Turn on notifications so you can take your turns promptly. -If you see that your opponent is online (the dot next to their name is filled in) -then stay in the game for a while and perhaps you can play live for a bit. - -- cgit v1.2.3
