Blitz

Fast-paced games for quick matches. Preset blitz time controls ready to go.

Rapid

A balance of speed and strategy. Enough time to think, fast enough to keep it exciting.

Increment Types

Fischer

Time added after each move. The most widely used increment system in modern chess.

Bronstein

Time added up to move duration. You can never gain time, only avoid losing it on quick moves.

A countdown before the clock starts ticking. Think for free during the delay period.

No Increment

Pure countdown. A fixed amount of time and nothing more. Classic sudden-death chess.
