There are several options for the amount of time you would like to spend playing your game. In each case, both you and your opponent will receive the same amount of time. For example, in a 3-minute game, you and your opponent will each have 3 minutes of time to spend on your moves. In a 45-minute game, both your and your opponent will each have 45 minutes of time.
This timer does not reset after each move. It represents the total amount of time you have to make all of your moves in the game, so you need to budget it wisely. Use your opponent’s turns to think about your next move without losing any time from your clock.
If you use up all of your time in a game, you will enter overtime, signified by the color red. As soon as you enter overtime, you will receive a penalty of ten points. For each full minute of overtime you spend, you will lose ten additional points. Your point penalty will display alongside your score. Once you have depleted your overtime, you will immediately forfeit the game, even if you have a higher score than your opponent.
