Time Settings: Fisher time

  • 20 minutes base time
  • 15 seconds per move

For those unfamiliar with Fisher time, each player will start with 20 minutes on their clock, for every move they make 15 seconds will be added to their remaining time. Time management is a little different than traditional Byo-yomi time…but helps ensure most games will be finished within 1 ½ hours.
