Home – Long game

 

 

In tournament chess you are required to execute a certain number of moves in a given time. Usually the game has a number of phases, e.g., two hours for the first 40 moves, one hour for the next 20, and 30 minutes for the rest of the game (a very common tournament control).

 

 

You can use “Long game” to adjust the time allocations or number of moves per phase. You can also select one of the common levels predefined in the dialog box (“Defaults”).

 

Note: The program uses different scoring modes in the disciplines Bullet, Blitz and long games!

 

If you set the time of the second and third time controls to zero, they are ignored as the first time control is always used.

Overstepping each of these time controls means you lose the game. If you use less than the specified time in any phase, it is added to the next phase.
