- Increment (Fischer), delay (Bronstein), simple delay (US) and hourglass; the time added or held per move is entered in seconds.
- Presets and handicap
- Presets from 1+0 to 90+30 and a custom time. Players can be given different times (handicap).
- Accurate timing
- Time is measured as a difference of performance.now(); below 20 seconds, tenths of a second are shown.
- Low-time warning
- When time runs low, the player's half changes colour and a beep sounds; when time runs out, a clear notice is shown.
- Game information
- Each player's move count and the duration of the last move are shown; the game can be paused, reset with confirmation and the sides swapped.
