Hi all!

I want to aks you if you know about timing in formal,especially great tournaments. I'm a little puzzled about that. I saw some descriptions such this: 90 min + 30 min after 40 moves. But after 2 hours I can see more time again! I want to know is there a mixture of normal timing and fischer timing? Could you please give some examples or share if there are fixed rules about timing?

TY in advance...

Timing for the last tournament in which I played was 90 +30 but the 30 was seconds add-on, not 30 minutes.  When trying to keep things moving during a one-day 4 round or two-day 5 round, it is necessary to push time at the end to get on with the next rounds.  Most players have jobs and cannot play one game per day for a week.

Another complementary question about this: Is there in chess.com any of these formal and advanced timing methods?
