Live 960 extra clock at start

    I propose that if/when Chess960 is added to Live Chess, white's clock should not begin immediately.  There should be an extra time bank for the players to examine the position.  I propose that the amount of time in the extra time bank should be 1/30th of the time control for the game, proportionally.  Thus, for a 5 minute game, there would be 10 seconds to study the position; for a 30 minute game there would be a minute.

    This would be in addition to the amount of time already allowed under the fairplay rules.

    Interesting request, but very logical, I would think. Otherwise, it's entirely possible that White's first move advantage might be lost - or worse. Smile
