why is there time added on the click during 3 minute games?
Sort:
Hi it’s that the clock seems to be adding time to moves during straight 3 minute games. Is this a technical issue or is there something I don’t understand? An opponent also complained about this so I know other people have felt the same thing. Like for example the opponent was winning but running out of time . Then with each move their clock was clearly adding one second. Anyone? Thanks
