Clocks start game incorrectly.

Currently on chess.com white moves before the clock time starts.

White`s clock should be started before not after white moves.

No the clock starts before white's second move, so black also gets a move before the clock starts. Maybe to give players time to send a good game message...

Actually chess rules are:

Article 6: The chessclock


6.6      

At the time determined for the start of the game White’s clock is started.

 

(BEFORE THE FIRST MOVE!)

 

Here at Chess.com we have one extra move for free (out of timing), which is our first move.
