Thank you for your help. There are still a couple of questions.
1. If what is 2/1, I somehow can think up, but 14/10 - my brain refuses. The first number (always in minutes?) - time, that have each player at start, correct? And what does the second?
2. I could play several games at once, but making only 1-2 moves per day in each of the games. Is there any appropriate time control?
