Is Fischer timing played on this site (some time on your clock plus so many seconds for each move you make)?

Haven't heard of "Fischer time system" before...

Yeah, it's sometimes called Fischer delay.  I think modern usage people just call it increment.

I think Bronstein advocated a delay system around the same time Fischer advocated his increment system. The only difference being that under Bronstein's system, each player would have a period of time before their clock continued counting down, where with the Fischer method, a player can actually add time to their clock by playing quicker than the increment being used.

Thanks everyone!  I was only curious about what the term meant, and if it was played on this site.

At my level of play, timing is not the problem.  Sealed
