As a feature request, is to add a time control option to delay as an increment vs. accumulation.
Thanks,

Re: Time controls
I think he is referring to a Bronstein delay. So a game would be say 30' plus a 5" delay before clock starts on each move. A much used system in USA weekend tournaments.mrudolf wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2023 6:54 amCan you explain?Foobarred1 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 22, 2023 3:27 pm As a feature request, is to add a time control option to delay as an increment vs. accumulation.

Re: Time controls
Yeah! What he said! 
Re: Time controls
Interesting, I thought this was one of (many) Bronstein's ideas which were completely forgotten.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, UCI standard does not support it so there is no way to pass this to the engines.
Re: Time controls
The Grand Chess Tour used this time format (delay, rather than increment) in 2019, IIRC.
