Help for Playing Real-Time (REAL.HLP) Zchess Version 1.5
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.
