Game time in fraction of minutes in Arena.

Post by Luis Babboni »

I can´t find a way to set initial time in fraction of minutes in Arena.
If I want for example to play 30 seconds matchs I need to use another GUI?

Thanks.

Choose blitz mode. Set initial time to 30 seconds and increment to 0 milliseconds.

You should probably use a small time increment to avoid time losses, though. Maybe 100 ms or so.

Mmmm...... Blitz is for entire game. :cry:

I´m looking for a way to set this level:

40 0:30 0

It is 40 moves each 30 seconds.

Try 80 moves in 1 minute.
