- Zchess Help For Playing Games
- -----------------------------
- For help with the play menu, request help when you are in an OPEN
- section. This help will describe differences for REAL sections.
-
- Time Controls
- -------------
-
- Clocks for REAL sections are set according to the section name
- according to the following:
-
- REAL1 5 minutes for all moves
- REAL2 10 minutes for all moves
- REAL3 20 minutes for all moves
- REAL4 40 minutes for all moves
- REAL5 60 minutes for all moves
- REAL6 120 minutes for all moves
- REALx 30 minutes for all moves
-
- The default is 30 minutes. Shareware versions will only support
- real-time sections named REAL, hence the time controls will be 30
- minutes for all moves.
-
-
- Time Adjustments
- ----------------
-
- As the game progresses, you will see your opponent's time adjusted
- after each of his moves. Time is controlled by the players section,
- hence the control for your opponent is controlled by his section.
- Time begins as soon as a move is received and the board is updated,
- and continues until a move is submitted. The time in transit for
- a move to be sent and received by the other session is not charged
- to either player. However, your session will maintain a time estimate
- for your opponent which runs whenever your clock is not running.
- The time for your move to be sent and received plus the time for your
- opponent's move to be sent and received is included in your time estimate.
- It is this time which is being subtracted by the time adjustment.
-
-
- Takebacks
- ---------
-
- Taking back moves is not allowed in the Real Time sections, so be
- careful.
