What does the bonus time mean; how is it figured? How is this bonus enabled?
Frankdawg
The bonus time is time added to your time after you make each move.
Thanks; for instance?

You will see time set like 15-0 meaning its a 15 minute game, if you see like 10-10 or 15-15, it a fifteen minute game with 15 minutes bonus time. Once you make a move some time is added to you game. It makes it a 30 minute maximum if it adds it all. The computer figures and adds it. I really dont know how it does it...
