So on the browser you just run your cursor all the way down to the lower left and if your cursor hovers over "Help",  a second menu opens up.  You want Ask a Question to gain access to the support articles.  Have fun!    Oh, no I haven't a clue how the smartphone apps work...

What does 10!0 or 30!0 mean ?

baddogno

10 minute game, no increment.  30 minute, etc.  One of the help articles gives all the common game times and approximately the total length with various increments.  You could look it up...wink.png
