Why can't I add Increments to a 10 minute game using a MacBook Pro ?

Can't they make a 10 + 5 game standard as impossible to do, following their instructions ?

Tap on Custom.... nothing. Tap on Increments.... nothing. Tap on minutes &/or seconds.... nothing. So just keep losing on time ! Ten to 15 years ago, when I was only in my 60's didn't matter, now I'm not so quick.

You can set up any time control you want using custom. Go the end of the default time controls and you will find a custom time control.  Pick a base time control. Add an increment (or not) and you are done.

Of course, this puts you onto the open challenges and you will have to wait until someone comes along to look at the list of open challenges and selects whatever you have posted. It may take a while.

Not my fault

It's better to choose one of the standard time controls with increment: 5+5 (blitz) or 15+10 (rapid).

There is a "More..." button which allows you to type in a custom time control such as 10+5. That's not recommended. Unless someone else is seeking that same time control, you won't get a match.
