Resolved: Bonus Time

Avatar of Vivinski

I'm not too familiar with using bonus time.

Up untill now I always played 10 mins blitz, with no bonus time. I'm considering playing some more 14 mins games or 10 mins with bonus time.

So I have a pretty open question, how does bonus time work and are there multiple types of bonus times here?

 

Do you get time for every move because I wouldn't like that, I would maybe like if you get time when your clock is running out, like only in the final ten seconds it restocks to ten.
