Hi there. I always play the 10min chess games. You have 10min time and you don’t get any time added by moving your pieces. I was in a the end of a chess match with my opponent. He only had 20 seconds left on the clock. We had the same pieces on the board. I still had 2 minutes left. So I decided to put him into several checks and let him run out of time. Suddenly he got time added every move he made. Sometimes 1 second sometimes 2 seconds. I lost the game. How is that possible?
