Time Control on top of the Board at LIVE

Sort:

hello.

time and time again,

I get into this situation:

"time is running out,

I gotta move quick!

QUICK

QUICK

QUICK!!!",

making moves as if I were in a bullet game,

without realizing that the game has a 1, 2, or 3 second increment. 

All I remember, is that I clicked on a green dot on the seeks graph, and the time control and rating of the player seemed appealing...

I KNOW, there is a time control indicator in the chat, but I have chat disabled. Even when I am playing with friends (chat enabled), it's hard for me to scroll up the chat with 5 seconds remaining on my clock. 

I always find myself thinking: "HMM, IS THERE A TIME INCREMENT ON THIS GAME??? I DON'T REMEMBER!!!" and I look at the clock and try to do the math to see if any seconds are added after each move... But this really throws me off anyways... I don't mind time increments... but I feel there should be a time indicator on top of the board on every game so that I can relax a little bit, and think when time is running out. I can make several fast moves and be confident that my time will increase... I have played many a game and move really fast in the end, only to find later that I have 20+ seconds in my clock due to time increment, yet, my game is completely lost by then.

 

Just a suggestion.

 

Thank you!!!
