I went on another app and they had a blitz where both players were allowed 1
Minute to move a piece. Each move. You did not get any bonus time for finishing early, when it was your turn again, you just had
to move within 60 seconds. Is there anything like that on here?? I know it may not be what people play in tournaments, but I enjoyed it a lot more than 5/5s or something like that

It's not one of the default choices but you can set up a 0|60 game any time you want.

Yeah, I def have done it. I think I had to do a 1/60 game?? But I couldn't find anyone wanting to play it. Thanks for the comment.

Well, that is not exactly the same either. That allows increments. So if I play E4 as an opener its gonna take you 0-2 seconds to play E5 or some other opener you have in mind. That means that the clock would then be at 118 seconds for you for your next move. And then it would keep going and going and going. You start accumulating more time in that way. I'd like it better if EVERY move was 1 minute only. I think that would be fun and cool.
