Dow do I detract time from one opponent? So one opponent has 10 min and the other is set to 3 min.

Sort:
Innerglow

I like to invite an opponent to play a 10 minute game.
But I'd like to change my time, and set it to 3 minutes.
I know it's possible to change it, but I'm not finding the option.
Where is it?
Does this option only appear if I buy one of Chess.com plans?

I suggest playing a 3 minute game and increasing your opponent's time by 15 seconds 28 times. It's not as much as it seems.

That's a really good work around and doable.
Thank you for that idea. I will apply it.

That said, I'm still interested to know were that option is hiding. happy.png

Yeah, I don't think it's available yet. Hopefully, in the future, Chess.com Developers will add options for time odds... hint hint... They're probably already working on it, though. I'm in Beta and this suggestion has been made multiple times.

I saw Alexandra Botez lowering her time to 10 seconds when she was playing against a newcomers, their time was set to 10 min.
(she did this mainly for entertainment (in a good way) )
But I could not see were she was changing it , as she was capturing and streaming only the board.
Here is an exmple: https://youtu.be/TRHBAgbO2GM?t=242

I was looking for answers on Twitch's Chess channel as well,
and the answers I got was that Alexandra has special commands given to her by Chess.com which allows here to setup any game variant.
In other words, she has admin rights.

So the option is already available, but not for regular users.
Can anyone confirm this?

K_Simonson

Well, I think staff and moderators have the ability to change game time, who goes first, and things like that.

Right.

So I was on Botezlive channel, and they confirmed this, only moderators have the a ability to chance time like that, and Alexandra is a moderator.

I found out today that somehow your opponent can ask for extra time at the beginning of the game. How you ask I do not know. 

Anyone know more about this?

Not a bad way of introducing a good form of handicap rather than giving Piece Odds.

Yes.
The opponent your playing needs to be a friend in your friends list.
After starting a game, there will be an option to "add 15 seconds to your opponent's time".
It will appear in the chat, that is located to the right and bottom to the chess board.

According to K_Simonson message number 2 up top: You can "increasing your opponent's time by 15 seconds 28 times.".

So apparently there a limit of 28 time on adding 15 seconds. I need to check out this limitation myself.

Thx.

Don't believe there is a limitation, just that's what you would need to do to get the time odds you want.

Ohh I see... then I misunderstood.
It did sound weird... I was thinking to myself: "why would they limit this option to specifically 28 time?"  LOL
Anyway thank you for clarifying.  happy.png

28 is a perfect number like 6 and  496.

Innerglow

*Writing down new lottery numbers*

6 = 3+2+1

28=14+7+4+2+1

496= 248+124+62+31+16+8+4+2+1

What is the next perfect number?

A perfect number is one whose factors add up to the number.

6 is based on 3 in a certain fashion, 28 on 7, and 496 on 31

So what is the next perfect number based on? 127 and the perfect number is 127 times 64. Good luck with your Lottery Numbers @Innerglow. If you win, please message me.

fun fact: if 2^p - 1 is prime and p is also prime, then [2^(p-1)][(2^p)-1] is a perfect number
