  I am sure those of you who are 'old hands' know time options inside out, so could one of you explain(probably for the zillionth time I'm sure), how do the varios time options( when deciding on what type to play) work?  Obviously 30 min. is 30min ea., 5min is 5ea etc., but what about the others?

  First correct answer wins 1/4pt. from me in a game( your probably ranked that much higher)!

Try this article out for size; and here's another link that explains in more detail about bonus time.

 I am new to Chess.com (Nov.) and the first 4 games I played I lost... the first one was 4 moves... and all of them was time related... I could not figure out what the heck was going on...   I seen your Question and went a looked... now I know that I had gotten into bullet games where the total game is only 3 minutes... WOW, I wasn't ready for that... I have a 600 something rating for BULLET... LOL...

      I asked for a Friend status from you... hope you accept... but please no bullet games... :-)
